Week 1: Meal Challenge

Hello Fellow Cooks and Friends,

When I posted about the Meal Challenge, I did happen to forget that I would be at Nana and Grandpa's house sewing and making my very first quilt!! Right now I am sitting at their dining room table ~ resting after a productive and fun day of quilting and more with my Nana.
I just hung up the phone after talking to my dear Momma...and sisters Grace, Anna, Natalie and Laura ~ I miss my family and realize just how much I love everything about my farm-y home. Count your blessings and do not take them for granted. All the joyful chaos and noise is something that I wouldn't trade for anything:)

Anyways, I will update on my special weekend (with pictures!) later.

Please join us this coming week!

 Curried Lentil Soup

4c. Hot Water

1 Can (28oz) Crushed Tomato

3 Medium Potatoes, peeled and diced

3 Medium Carrots, sliced

1 Large Onion, chopped

1 Celery Rib, chopped (I used 3)

1c. Dry Lentils

2 Garlic cloves, minced

2 Bay leaves

4t. Curry Powder

1 1/2t. Salt

In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients; stir well. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until vegetables and lentils are tender. Discard the bay leaves before serving. Serves 10!

Half of my family really enjoyed this dish, but the younger ones opted for a "no";) 
We found that we all liked the soup even more when adding a few Ritz Crackers...and Dad, who doesn't like Curry, liked this!!
