Dashing any chance of looking hawt in my comfies, giant fuzzy socks are on my feet on a regular basis these days. I never actually buy these, but they typically show up in my Christmas stocking and I am elated. They're so comforting and make me feel like a little kid. Get you some.

Ever since my success with the lentil taco recipe, I've been positively enchanted by this legume. I nommed some of the excess lentils that had only been boiled in water--no salt, no pepper, nothin'--and they were fantastic. They're full of iron and protein, keep well and don't require soaking. Lentil soup has been such a comfort food for me ever since my college roomie's Greek mama introduced me to it, and I'm so excited to explore other recipes and uses for lentils.

As I obsess about proper recipes to contribute (finally) to the Thanksgiving meal this year, the Epicurious app has been more helpful that you can shake a stick at. Most of the recipes have photos, and all of them have reviews, which I love reading for substitution ideas and real-life expectations. ("This dish took 4 hours to make and used all of my pans. But yum!" Yeeeeah, I'll pass.)
Wishing y'all a great weekend and a lovely week ahead as you prepare for Thanksgiving. Remember: things will go wrong, there will be spills, there will be naps...so embrace the hoopla and don't forget to take some time for true, prayerful thanksgiving.
...Oh, and hug your host/hostess! They work hard, y'all!
A French friend made lentils and tomato soup for me and it was divine. I've been searching for more lentil recipes soon. Do share!
ReplyDeleteOoo, that sounds delicious! I will definitely keep y'all updated on any great recipes I come across!
ReplyDeleteOkay, remind me at Thanksgiving to give you my Lentils & Leeks recipe. It, too, was from Epicurious, my FAVORITE source for new recipes, and is incredible! I'm a loser aunt for not getting back to you about your Thanksgiving sides options, but I know whatever you bring will be superb! Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a sock girl. I think I have the coldest feet in the world. HaHa I have the Epicurious app and your review is on-point. It's very helpful when I need a recipe.
