Mexican Lentil Stew

We have so many lentils around so I decided to make some healthy soup for dinner. (Did you know that about half the carbs from lentils are fiber? Amazing!)

This recipe was taken from this one here. It was pretty good, although we did add bacon and would omit the sour cream next time. Limon said it reminded him of soup that his mother would make.

Tinga

Forgive the unsightly photograph because it really doesn't do justice to the dish that is tinga. Tina is a great Mexican party food because it can be made in large quantities and is fun to assemble. It is a meat mixture, usually chicken or pork, cook with tomatoes, onions, and chipotle peppers. You then serve it on a tostada with sour cream, lettuce, limon and salt. Delicious!

A typical weekend breakfast...

On weekend days we have more time to prepare breakfast and sit down together to eat it. On the menu this morning was sausage, scrambled eggs with nopales, beans/rice, and homemade corn tortillas.
