Today was a bit of a lazy day. With the cold weather and snow we've been having, I'm finding myself cold, even indoors and not up to doing a whole lot. I'm only just over my cold but not back to normal routines and I have a busy week ahead.
I did some relaxing and a little laundry, tried to read my book,
The Girl With a Pearl Earring and watched the Oscars with one eye though I missed all the key award presentations, lol. I got busy making a lentil concoction and some bread for dinner, as well as some blueberry muffins for breakfast.

| This pot is filled with about 3 cups of lentils and twice the water and some sea salt. Once this mixture boiled and the lentils were softening, I added: one peeled and chopped sweet potato, several leaves of chopped kale, 6 chopped roma tomatoes, one half of a large red onion (chopped) and a big spoon of aged miso (probably about 4 tbsp.) for flavouring. I cooked this all down until the water was all evaporated and the lentils were nice and soft. This dish was accompanied by a ground beef/red onion and soy sauce dish, a side of brown rice and some bannock bread. This was all very tasty and filling and hit the spot on a cold day. For a change there are lots of leftover lentils and rice to eat through the week. I've also frozen some lentils. |

| I also made these jumbo blueberry muffins for breakfast. I guess blueberries count as being blue ;-) I've made these before and you can find the recipe here. Sorry there is no longer a photo on the original post. It used to be on my hard drive but that was several computers ago! |

| I started another cleanse. I liked the one I tried in January. Read about it here. But I felt I needed a slightly longer cleanse and this one is for 30 days. This will spur me on to eat better also. |
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and wish you a wonderful week ahead!
