Organic Lentil Stew

I love this Stew! It's so easy to make and tastes great!
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2/3 Cup Onion, chopped
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
4 Cups veggie broth or chicken broth
2 cups water
1 can fire roasted tomatoes
1 sweet potato
1 handful of spinach or more
2 cups of lentils
1 tsp season salt
salt and pepper to taste

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil for 4 minutes then add rest and cook 1 hour. I like to sprinkle some fresh Parmesan on it and serve it with corn muffins. Yum!

Holiday Feast Left Overs! Yum!

Okay. How do I say this lightly? I HATE cooking. I really do. You can probably tell cause I never put anything on here now that my mom cooks for me again (major benefit of moving back home). Don't get me wrong I do cook sometimes. Eggs. Cereal. Sandwhich. Cereal. Noodles. Cereal. Etc. But this is something new. This is one of my best. And it tastes good too!

Get a casserole dish
Put a can of carrots in it OR be healthy and cut cooked carrots and cover the bottom of the dish
Next in a can of beans
Next left over turkey
Then Gravy
And Mashed potatoes
And shredded cheese!

It's shepards hamburger casserole Thanksgiving style! And the whole family will love it!

OH and don't forget to cook it! I don't know the exact temp and time but I'm guessing 350 and until it's hot and the cheese is melted. Yum!

Christmas or Funeral Potatoes



My family and I LOVE these potatoes! But we've been taught that they're called both funeral and Christmas Potatoes. We have found that people respond better if we say they're Christmas Potatoes, even if we are at a funeral... I highly suggest them with ribs. :)




6 potatoes boiled & grated


1 pint of sour cream


1 can GF cream of chicken soup


1/4 cup milk


1/2 cup scallion onions


1 cup cheddar cheese grated




Fold all that goodness into potatoes. Sprinkle crushed cornflakes with butter on top. Warm and 350 degrees.

Soy Chicken Rice

Along with finding out I can have gluten I found I can't a bunch of other things and I was feeling kinda blue about it so my mom suggest I make a simple comforting meal, just to remind myself the world, no matter how dramatic I am, isn't ending.

1 cup of rice- brown or quinoa
some precooked chicken
soy sauce

I cooked my rice in my rice cooker, cut up my chicken in little pieces. Mix that together then put some soy sauce on it. Ta-Dah!

What they say is true, the simplest stuff makes the biggest difference! It made me full too :)
