What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
I am a fervent legume fan, but I just can't get behind lentils. Maybe I'm just not preparing them the right way...
The green and brown lentils do nothing for me, but the tender red lentils cook down into a thick golden chili-like consistency that I flavour with curry spices and garlic and sometimes a bit of ginger. You can eat it as a side dish, a main dish over zoodles or riced cauliflower (haven't tried that yet) or thin it down a bit to make a hearty soup. Sometimes I put diced red bell peppers in it for a bit of colour. Delicious, and a good way to get turmeric into the diet.

AV, I had a ****ty night as well. My Kal skipped a nap yesterday and I was able to keep him up until around 7pm. Historically, that would mean he slept until 4:30 or 5. I made the mistake of staying up watching true crime documentaries on Netflix and working on this super cute chunky scarf.
So, when my kiddo woke up at 2:30am and jumped up and down on my bed for an hour, I had to finally get up. He was up until exactly 5:53am (I watched him nod off and marked the time) I had already had 2 cups of coffee, so I was pretty much screwed. I did end up dozing off and on for an hour, but I am going to suck at life today. My hubby is coming home and should be home before dinner, but I think today is going to be hard. My MIL said she'd take the kiddo for a few hours late this morning, so I'll take the opportunity to decompress. I was planning on hitting the gym, but on so little sleep, I don't think I'm going to make it today.
Here's how my morning has gone:
One year since surgery
B: tomato with feta at 5am, and then a light and fit greek yogurt. I've had 2 cups of coffee so far.
L: 4oz turkey deli meat on 1/2 a flat out with lettuce, mayo, pickles and onions
D: shrimp ****tail because I don't want to cook
S: not sure. I don't have any really bad food in the house right now, so it will have to be at least something healthy.
