I love cooking and particularly enjoy budget, but healthy meals. This one is particularly awesome because I used up whatever I had in the fridge. It also satisfies our vegetarian of the house. Have 8 and sometimes more, adults to feed and keep happy come dinner time can be quite challenging, but this one can be eaten by most, except those keeping away from carbs at the moment.
It’s basically lentils, spinach, onion, garlic, ginger and some spices, cumin seeds, chilli flakes, turmeric, hot chilli powder....pretty sure that’s it. I used one whole bulb of garlic just crushed through the garlic crusher. A tablespoon of cumin seeds, grated ginger, turmeric, and a small amount of chilli flakes and chilli powder...this you could do to taste. Two huge onions and about 6 overflowing cups of chopped spinach and kale. Oh, and three huge chopped tomatoes. Pop the spices in about 3 tablespoons of olive oil, get the flavours up and then pop everything else in basically. I used the whole packet of green lentils and pre cooked in some water. Drained and added t the pot after it was all cooked. You can drizzle a little olive oil over the top and a squeeze of lemon, or lime...or nothing.
I made some coconut rice to go with it.
If you have any question just ask in the comments.
Until next time
Lots of it

I am Back
It has been a long time since I last posted. My goodness...so much has happened. Life....am I right?
It would take a very long Post for an update, so here are some words to give you some ideas:
New job, new job, keto, cooking, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, illustrations, art tutoring, driving, shopping, gardening, Harry Potter, home life, crocheting, drs, dancing, lawn bowls, NDIS, specialists, new boyfriends and girlfriends, kids birthdays, shopping, Ikea, markets, gardening, organic food, growing your own food, produce swapping, Facebook, making a house a home, home schooling, budgeting.
There is a snippet.
Here are some photos.
Would you like to see anything specific? If so, I would love for you to comment below and create my posts around what you want to see. I have rediscovered blogs and spend a relaxing time reading them. I am incredibly interested in Slow Living. Stay tuned...❤️
