Lentil and Veggie Tacos
1-3/4 Cup water
3/4 cup dry red lentils, rinsed and drained (I used yellow split peas)
1/4 chopped onions
chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
4 tostada shells (I used corn tortillas)
2 cups chopped vegetables – broccoli, tomato, zucchini or yellow squash
3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (I used mozarella)
Stir water, lentils, onion, cilantro, salt, cumin and garlic in saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered for 12-15 minutes until lentils are tender (!) and most of the liquid is absorbed. Mash the cooked mixture and spread it on tostadas. Top with vegetables and cheese and broil approximately 2 minutes until cheese melts.

Visit to the Nutritionist
I went with Sue to her nutritionist appointment last week and learned a couple of points that I thought I should share.
1. Avoid corn products in all forms. Corn coverts to fat all too easily – that’s why they use it to feed cattle and hogs. So avoid corn chips, corn flour, corn syrup, and just plain corn to name a few.
2. Try to use organic dairy products whenever possible so you aren’t getting the antibiotics or growth hormones.
