spicy red lentil stew

If you live in Canada then you know winter has finally arrived (Brr). I developed this plant based stew the other day when I was craving something warm and hearty yet super flavourful and healthy. All ingredients were staples I already had so it was super easy to throw together and let simmer while I went about my chilly day. Potatoes, chickpeas and lentils simmered in a spicy red curry sauce served on quinoa with fresh cilantro is my kinda meal. I skipped the coconut milk this time so if you’re looking for a relatively low fat option this recipe is for you. And remember, healthy cooking during the winter and a Global pandemic is all about being versatile with what you have - so feel free to replace or add extra of any vegetable you love!

lentil bolognese

This plant based lentil bolognese did not disappoint. Packed with veg and super simple to make, it’s my ultimate healthy comfort food! I had most of these ingredients on hand so was able to throw this together without leaving my house. But if you don’t you can also make a ton of substitutions to this and it will still turn out great so be creative and use what you have. Enjoy and stay well xo
