Lentil Stew

Lentil Stew by Salad Foodie

Chock full of vegetables this stew is satisfying and hearty. Lentils originated in the Middle East and are one of mankind's oldest foods. Unlike Esau I would not give up my birthright for a bowl of lentils and a bread loaf (Genesis 25:34) but this soup is well, stew-pendous! It's based on a recipe from The Daniel Plan Cookbook by…

Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili

Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili by Salad Foodie

An article in Allrecipes Magazine (9/15) on tailgate chilies inspired me to add a new variety to my repertoire. So over a few weeks I tried each of the 5 recipes that were featured.

Lentil, Black Bean & Brown Rice Soup

Lentil, Black Bean & Brown Rice Soup by Salad Foodie

Hearty and healthy, this soup will satisfy your fall comfort food needs. I was inspired by a demo of lentil and brown rice soup by Chef Michael on Chef At Home, but he uses no recipes, just methods. When I took my turn in the kitchen to replicate it I went off on so many tangents, that this version bears little resemblance to his!…

Nearly 35 years later I have learned those vintage recipes can be hard to beat: plain and simple, hearty and satisfying. We loved this version, and that was just First Day judgment. Can hardly…
