Meat Free Monday:Moroccan Puy Lentil Salad

This week's Meat Free Monday dish, is one from "Something for the Weekend"


Some really interesting flavours in this but due to it being cold OH and I both agreed it would be better as a lunch dish as apposed to dinner.  We are big on our main meal of the day being in the evening!

Meat Free Monday:Chickpea and Lentil Taco Salad

This week's Meat Free Monday dish was inspired by VegHotPot's recipe "Chickpea, Lentil and Feta Taco Salad"


I omitted the feta cheese to make them vegan!

This recipe was fantastic, unlike anything I had made before.  It required no cooking (apart from the lentils, but that can always be done ahead or bough pre-cooked in tins) so was really quick (great for a Monday night when I've been at work).
The flavours were so fresh, no feeling bloated afterwards.  Great for summer, big thumbs up :)

This Week Has Mostly Consisted Of...

...Eating much less of this










and eating a whole lot more of this










My favourite girl in the whole wide world came home, for Christmas, from Portsmouth














Another Favourite girl returned home from Univerisity in Brighton













Funny Russian hats were found...













...and knitting has been wound











...lots of partying and silliness with the broom

and then it snowed :D

Old Mother Hubbard...

... Rooted through her cupboard,
To discover all she had were pasta, eggs and lentils
She thought and she thought, even asked some continentals,
But still had no clue what to cook,
Until, she discovered a recipe in somewhere very different to a book,
It was from the middle east,
She cooked up a lentily feast!

Apologies for the poor poem, was a whim with inspiration from my Mother.
Here is what I made:
















And here is the very simple recipe.
With a few progress photos.































Oh yes I made peanut butter fudge too :)


For those of you who follow me on Twitter you will have read about my drawing stint yesterday, It is not finished yet but I though I would show you guys some rough photos:















Apologies for the poor quality, should have colour finished and a nice neat scan up tomorrow.

Seen as we are talking about cooking again today I thought I would share with you the pizza I made the other night as I was very proud of it :)










It was so tasty it was half eaten before I had a chance to take a photo hehe.

After all this I think I am ready for a nice hot bath then some hot chocolate and peanut butter fudge whilst watching Christmas with the Kranks and thinking about Open Dinners.
