Meals

In case you wondering how the meal planning was going then I'm here to tell you that we have been loosely sticking to the plan.

On Saturday night we had this Red Lentil Soup

My husband made this and it is super tasty.  The great thing about it is that there is always enough for another meal the next night and it usually tastes even better.  His recipe for Red Lentil Soup is:

Start with a Mirepoix (2 onions, 2 carrots, 2 sticks of celery).
Finely chop the Mirepoix ingredients and soften over a medium heat.
Add sliced garlic and cook for a minute or two.
Add 2-3 teaspoons of cumin, 1-2 teaspoons of ground coriander seeds, half a teaspoon of turmeric.
Cook the spices for about a minute
Add 2 400g cans of peeled tomatoes and a cup of red lentils.
Simmer and add water to keep to a thick soupy consistency.
Cook slowly for 45 minutes to an hour.
Serve with homemade raita (yoghurt, grated and drained cucumber and mint).

If you are looking for easy, healthy and tasty meals to cook then I recommend www.thestonesoup.com/blog. It's a lovely blog and if you sign up for email updates she sends you a free e-book of recipes.  The recipes are really easy and only have a few ingredients.

I also heard about this book.  It isn't released yet but I think it will be perfect for when Baby Boy is joining in at meal time.
