Okay so I know I promised to post in here more often but I haven't been feeling to hot. Anyways today I made soup lentil soup. This soup is a great way to get all those veggies in, or use up any veggies you have laying around in your crisper drawers. You can sub out any veggie for veggies you have one hand. Aside from letting the lentils soak overnight this recipe is really, really easy.
Easy Lentil Soup.
1 c. lentils (soaked overnight)
2 cloves garlic
1 c. carrots chopped
1 c. onion chopped
1 c. celery chopped
1 c. broccoli chopped
1 c. shredded zuchini
1 c. cauliflower chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can chicken broth
6 c. water
2 c. veggie juice
salt and pepper to taste
I put all the veggies in a huge pot and sautee them and then add everything else and let cook for an hour. Serve with crusty bread and you are all done. Enjoy!

I'm back!
After being gone for quite some time I decided that I will try to do this blog like everyday. I need to do something to keep myself occupied and I figure everyone loves food as much as I do, so why not share what I have learned.
So yesterday I went to goodwill and I know this is gonna sound weird but I bought a breadmaker for $5, and guess what? After a good scrub down and disinfection session I made some bread. The first loaf was a bit of a complete failure. Still doughy, didn't raise, not that great tasting, but I wasn't about to give up on the machine just yet. So the second bread I made turned out FANTASTIC! It was light and springy and soo good. The secret was that instead of dumping everything in the breadmaker, you need to let the yeast proof for about 5 minutes. So here is the great recipe I used and when I find my USB cable for my camera I will post a picture of the bread.
Amish White Bread
2 and 3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup canola oil (or vegetable oil works just as well)
1 tea. yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tea. salt
1 cup and 2 Tbsp. warm water
In a non-metal bowl, mix 1/2 of the water, yeast and sugar and leave for 5 minutes. Once yeast has proofed (it will look bubbly) mix with the rest of the ingredients and rest of water in the breadmaker.
Ta-Da and you are done! Enjoy!
