green week~two

We love our veggies. Last night was a lentil soup from this recipe. Delicious! Sometimes I feel limited in our meal planning because I shop at the local natural food co-op and they stock a good variety of vegetables, but nothing like the big chain grocery stores. Regardless, we get our fare share of vegetables (albeit the same each week) and try to find new and interesting recipes to try.

Your green photos are so much better than mine! I actually have no time this week--and no time at home when there's any natural light....I am going to have to get more creative.

I've learned to cook a few new recipes by making an effort to stick to what I could find at the Farmer's market in my area. I wish it was open all year round. Your lentil soup recipe is one I should try. Have a great day.

I love lentil soup. So much. I could eat it every day. How's that for lack of variety?!

yummm...lentil soup is one of my family's favorites. I always love trying out new versions.
I just checked out the recipe and it calls for "grains of paradise". What are those?

Ooh lentil soup...that sounds very good! Does your co-op not have a buying club with it? Ours does and we have an online board to split the cases we have to so we can fill something we need. I get all my flours, sugars, juice boxes, and snacks for the girls from there plus anything else that is good meal fodder. The wholesale company we use is called UNITED...so you might check there may be enough interest through the co-op to get one going and they are well worth it for those of us in areas with little variety....
