Lentil and Cauliflower Dill Salad
As far as healthy eating goes the title of this post is screaming “I’m the healthiest”. Well it was until I decided that my husband would probably not eat it unless I somehow made it more appealing to him. Enter the cheating move of adding the tiniest bit of bacon. As in 4 strips. Crumble that bacon up, toss it in there and we have lift off of friends!

Fall Lentil Salad with a Lemon-Shallot Dressing
This Fall Lentil Salad with a Lemon-Shallot Dressing came up as the result of a much too indulgent weekend. You know the one? Too much food that was ordered or packaged and not fresh. Perhaps a bit too much wine one night. All in all the weekend was packed with many calories and my pants either needed to be let out or I need some salad in my life stat. I actually become quite unhappy with consuming too many meals that are not home cooked. I realize that makes me super weird since most people are looking for reasons to eat out, but it really gets to me and I immediately notice a difference in the health of my family and to be perfectly frank, the behaviour of my kids.

Moroccan Lentil Risotto with Lamb Merguez Sausage and Cucumber Lemon Yogurt
This recipe and the next two came about through a collaboration with the talented food photographer Joey Armstrong. She’s got mad skills behind the lens! I had wanted to do risotto, but a truly inspired risotto theme based around different global flavours. New flavours, old technique. All the recipes turned out much better than any expectations I had held. They’re really delicious. And, I’m not just saying that because I made them up, I’m saying it because somehow, I made these ingredients work together and taste great.

Mini #4 Lentil Parfait
Z & I love this dish. It’s easier on their tummies than beans and they tend it’s favour smooth textures. Lentils simmered with a bay leaf and yogurt with a pinch of cumin … Lentil Parfait! Although I’ve listed green lentils here, any lentils will do. Be sure to follow the package instructions on how to cook them as some take longer than others.
I usually serve this with peas or broccoli which seems to make a nice compliment as it always gets eaten in its entirety.
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
1/2 cup green lentils
1/2 a dried or 1 full fresh bay leaf
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
Pinch of cumin
Directions:
Rinse lentils and place in a pot with bay leaf. Add water to cover 2″ above lentils. Bring to a boil, partially cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
Drain lentils, if necessary, and blend till desired consistency is reached.
Place a portion in a bowl and top with yogurt and cumin.
