Lazy Sunday?

When Steven works nights on the weekends, I try my best to stay up later than normal, so that I can sleep in with him in the mornings.  Last night, I was successful.  I stayed up, and even managed to get a couple of homework assignments finished.

So after sleeping in until 10 am, I got up, went to purchase the weekly Sunday Newspaper, and was home in time to plant myself on the couch with the laptop and remote.   I set the DVR to record my new favorite show, Hungry Girl (Cooking Show).  For those that know her, she cooks low calorie recipes, and most of them look amazing. 

Steven and I hit up my favorite frozen yogurt place!  Merry Toppins has been my little go to Frozen Yogurt joint, since it opened about 3 weeks ago.  Its probably not a good thing when the owners know you! 

So, now that Steven has headed off to work for the night, I decided to try a new recipe.  I love lentils!  They are high in fiber and protein, and "Oscar", my sometimes grouchy lap band lets them through the gates.  That on the other hand is a different story!  I had googled several recipes, but dont have a stock pile of fresh veggies in my fridge.  Why?  Well, Steven doesnt eat them, and well, again "Oscar" is grouchy.  I hate to buy food that will spoil.  We seem to never get around to eating them, and to me, thats a total waste of money.  Therefore, Ive come up with my own recipe.

I used a one pound bag of lentils
2 tablespoons of garlic (the little bottle you can buy thats already minced)
4 cups of chicken broth
2 tbsp of curry powder
1/2 tbsp of sea salt

I used about 1 tbsp of chicken broth to sautee the garlic.  I then added the curry powder.
I then put the chicken broth in, let it boil a little - then added the lentils.
Mixed it all together and added the sea salt.

I let them simmer for about 30 minutes (they are still simmering) and let me say, they smell amazing.
Ill let you know how they turn out.

Once I cool them, I will divide them out for my lunches this week.
