Red Lentil Soup

October 29, 2013 · 2 Comments

Red Lentil SoupMy third week of the 28 mind and body challenge is slowly coming to an end, just as I begin my half marathon training. I feel energized and whole again. The cravings, well when all you see is candy and Halloween treats, it’s a challenge overcoming those, but I’ve stay dedicated and found healthy alternates to satisfy my sweet tooth. The three-day Flair-A-Fair craft fair this past weekend, the last event and busy time at work, which is why I knew I had to stay on top of my clean eating, even though my schedule prevented me from coming home to eat a healthy meal.

I made a large batch of this perfect warming fall soup to help me stay satisfied while on the go. It’s not the first soup I’ve made lentils the star ingredient, this one is one of my favorite summer soups. The red lentils in just one cup of this soup contains just 200 calories, but as an excellent source of fiber, it’s a great way to keep your digestive system running smoothly when everything seems to be getting more hectic. Quick, simple, and comforting, that’s what a healthy fall soup should be.

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
