Some days I wake and want to be as healthy as I can be and that includes eating the most nutritious foods available to me. My garden plans are on track but of course there is no harvest right now. So I went to the grocery and bought the most colorful foods I could find and this is what I ended up making--Lentil and Vegetable Marinara sauce. It is delicous and when we eat it I feel like we are eating like we should.

Start with some olive oil and add
chopped green, red and orange peppers. | |
|
|
 |
| onions... |
 |
chopped broccoli, and chopped
baby carrots... |
 |
| mushrooms... | | | |
 |
three cans of diced tomatoes (two cans
have no added salt) |
 |
| add tomatoes to skillet... |
|
 |
I measured one cup of lentils and added to
2 1/2 cups of boiling water... |
 |
and cook for 12 minutes, most of the water cooks
away and then drain... |
 |
Here are my window herbs: oregano, basil,
and chives... |
and here are my outdoor herbs, rosemary,
thyme and more oregano...
 |
| chop and add to skillet... |
 |
| two tablespoons of sugar... |
|
 |
garlic and a few turns of the Italian
herb grinder... |
 |
and most everything here gets a few shakes of
red pepper because Tracy likes things HOT! |
 |
By now my lentils are done and ready to
add to the skillet.. |
 |
| along with one cup of pasta... |
 |
| There you have it :) yummy and totally nutritous! Give it a try! |
Looks yum!
