So Much For Soup!

On By Anna EastlandIn Yummy in the Tummy2 Comments

Here’s what the kids thought of my dinner tonight….sigh!



But for those of you who’d rather eat soup than throw it, here’s the recipe:

I for one liked it!                            Homestyle Lentil Soup

I added lots of fresh herbs from the garden, like thyme, sage, rosemary and chives, and found it lovely! Kind of like a vegetarian beef stew.

So here’s to all my fellow moms who are trying to cook healthy, instead of putting IKEA toy food on the table cause it’s less messy! 😉 I hope that all of your dinners went better than mine tonight!

Auntie Reiko Makes Good Soup!

Today one of my closest, oldest friends came over to spend the day with me and the kids. There is something really special about spending time with someone who has stood by you through the years, ever since you were an awkward skinny teenager, and loved you all that time. She’s the kind of friend I can imagine having fun with when we’re both grey-haired and wrinkly, and still laughing our heads off.

Today, just because, she brought us homemade muffins and soup. They were both delicious, and the baby gave us quite the performance eating his soup. Typical of my children, he wanted to do it himself.

He he thought that Greek Red Lentil Soup was best as a full body experience.

It’s likely very good for the skin…

And good to the last drop!

Here’s the link to the recipe, which is originally from the Rebar cook book:

We blended it with a hand mixer to make it kid-friendly….no bits to pick out! But for the adults, the feta crumbled on top makes it truly delicious, and some bread to dip in and and wipe your plate with is a great way to get every last drop, too, without dumping it on your head!
