Lentil Mixed Rice Casserole
I bought some lentils not knowing what to make with it, but knowing that it is good for you.

Here we go...
1. Chop up an onion and carrots. Saute in 1-2 tbs. of EVOO.

2. In the mean time rinse and soak 2/3 c.lentils and 2/3 c. mixed rice. (Probably better to soak lentils and rice for hours ahead of time).

 

3. Saute Lentils and Rice in pan for 15 mins. Then throw in the lentils and 2 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Simmer for about an hour (until rice is tender).

 

 4. Top with cheese. Then Enjoy!

5.Enjoy with a steak. Mine looks unattractive since I cut it. Remember PORTION CONTROL!!!

Recipe of the Week

Today was one of those I am super tired but yet need to be productive day. I did three loads of laundry and made up a new recipe. Here it goes...

Ingredients
- Steak
- Soy Sauce
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Honey
- Maple Syrup
- Crushed Red Pepper
- Cayenne Pepper (my favorite!)
- Carrots

I mixed all the ingredients and let the meat marinate for about 15 minutes. Then got a pan and a tad of butter then seared both sides of the meat. After that I put the heat at low covered it as I peeled and cut carrots. Then placed the carrots in the pan. I added some of the marinate into the pan. I flipped the meat a few times. I let it cook for 45 minutes as I was folding laundry.

I made some mixed rice with it... Black rice, red rice, and brown rice. It was delish!

Here was the finished product... It was way better than I imagined it to be!
