We had a delicious Creamy Cabbage and Zucchini Curry yesterday and the day before (lots of delicious leftovers). MY dad and MY brother even liked this. WHOA!
Then, tonight we had the Earthy Lentil Stew from Vive le Vegan! It was really yummy- a lot like the lentil soup we usually have, but with a bit more depth in flavour. My dad & brother loved this too!
When I eat lentil soup, I like to add some interest to it by adding some toppings- always fresh raw veggies, cut into tiny pieces. Plus, the raw vegetables contribute a boost of vitamin C, making the iron from the lentils even MORE bioavailable.
I used cabbage, yellow bell pepper, garden carrots, and tomato today:
Spinach, lemon juice, and broccoli are some add-ins I like as well.:) Sometimes I add too many veggies and my soup is suddenly a salad!
Lastly... on my run today, I saw a lovely rainbow (it was a fantastic run, by the way. Edmonton has perfect weather in the fall for that kind of thing). It kinda snuck up on me, too- I turned a corner past some trees, and BAM! :) So, once I got back home I grabbed my camera to take a piccie.
Happy Thursday everyone!

We saw a rainbow today too! :)
The lentil soup looks super yummy. Ill have to try that soon.
I'm studying to be a holistic nutritionist, and am learning a lot about food combining. Fruit should always be eaten by itself, and well in advance of any other foods (never after). Nuts are the exception. Otherwise the fruit will act like a glue in your digestive system, and mke you feel bloated and yucky. ;)
I hope you enjoyed your first day at school!
Dreena's Earthy Lentil is one of my favorite soups! and I love your idea of fresh topppings. Best of luck with school! :)
Beautiful rainbow!
Oh, and so cool that your mom is cooking up yummy things- all the better for your studying brain to get all this great fuel. Hey, I'm like you- a meal isn't complete for me without fresh veggies/fruits in some form- I too transform most of my meals into inadvertent salads! =)
:) Thanks for the comments! Lentil soup is indeed mental fruit.
It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another. However...
Some feel invaded and ofended that I present myself this way in their blogs and rudely insult me back.
Some think I'm playing the smart guy who wants to profit, in my miserable and ridiculous gain with Adsense (go figure!), from and with others curiosity and benevolence.
Some simply ignore me.
Some aknowledge that It's most important we all take notion that there's milions of us bloguing arownd the world and thus vital any kind of awareness such as I believe this my self-introduction card and insert apeal brings in.
May you be one of those open and friendly spirits.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn a couple of cents for that: I would feel happy and rewarded (because I realy need it!!!) if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all, however, blogocitizens must unite also by clicking-helping eachother when we know cybermegacorporations profit from our own selfishness regarding to that simple click.
About this I must say, by my own experience, that no one realy cares (maybe a few) about this apeal I make, still I believe in my Work and Dreams and thus I'll keep on apealing and searching so strong is my will.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
How sweet of your mom (wow I'm jealous)! I bet that the cabbage curry tasted great too. OOhhh Earthly Lentil Stew is one of my favorite Vive recipes. Sometimes I like to make it just for the amazing aroma that fills the whole house.
Cool Rainbow!
:) It really did smell fantastic! If somebody someday figures out how to make a perfume/cologne that smells like lentil stew...
I like this rainbow picture. It ain't easy to catch the rainbow at my place.. Cheers from Fruity
