Fruits And Veggies Monday - First Time Goodness

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL~

It is Monday, Fruits and Veggies Monday @lenasveganliving! Come and check it out..

The fruits in my part of the world are getting narrower as the winter setting in with frigid temperature. Grapes, I love grapes of all colors! They are my favorite snack! I can eat them all day if the price was right! Right now, grapes are running at $2.99 per pound.

Continuing on my journey to teach myself to like beans, I finally made my first lentil soup. I did make sure that I used a small pot, but my happy hands soaked too much lentil, and I still ended up with more lentil soup than I can eat.

However, since every time I cooked, I have to divide up for two households, so I packed a big container for my brother and one for my mother. I kept enough for myself the next day.

My lentil soup had the common, usual ingredients: carrot, onion, celery, and cabbage! Topped with green onion and cilantro!

I also made honey glazed carrots for the first time. It was good, but mother couldn't eat it because the carrots were not soft enough for her gum to chew. I like it crunchy, so it was good for me! Selfish daughter that I am; I hog all the honey glazed carrots.

The meal is not complete without salad! A quick toss of greens, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and cherry tomatoes are all I needed to get my fit.
