I met friends for lunch at The Chocolate Bar, but instead of lunch, I had a skinny latte and a vanilla cupcake with vanilla icing.
Boy oh boy was it good! Of course, that meant I needed something nutritious for dinner. Thankfully I had cooked up a big pot of spiced lentil soup Sunday night.
I've shared the recipe before and am glad to hear that it has become a favorite for
Val and
Glor, too.
Brown 1/2 cup of diced onions, 1/3 cup barley and 3 cloves of minced garlic in 1 TBS of olive oil. Add 3 quarts of vege stock and 1 cup of brown lentils to the pot and cook til tender. Stir in 1 can of chickpeas, 1/2-lb of spinach and 12 oz of salsa and warm through.
Kimmie is having a wet tea day in her corner of the world
so I am sending wishes her way for a warm and wonderful day.

Hi Jingles!!!!!
I adore all the delicious soups you show us on your blog, Tammy. This one sounds easy to make too...I must try it.
OH, what a yummy treat you had at The Chocolate Bar!
We are getting dumped with constant heavy rain here in Brisbane. There has already been flash flooding and roads cut in areas. I hope it doesn't get any worse like last year. I'm over it already.
Have a lovely evening,

You live a very balanced life T! Good job! your lentil soup recipe looks really good - I will definitely be trying this - I'm on the lookout for things like that :)
Happy Tuesday - I'm glad it was a sweet one :)
The Chocolate Bar, now that has got to be the cutest name ever. Don't blame you I would have chosen that too. My daughter game me some white tea which was delicious. Of course I don't remember the name.

I'll take that latte, too. It looks perfect. Of course, I must try that lentil recipe. I have everything, including the veg. stock except the lentils. I must buy some when I go to the grocery store tomorrow. Yours looks awesome. Happy end of Tea Tuesday.

Mmm, I love lentil soup. I've never had it with chickpeas in it though. Sounds really good. (So does the latte and cupcake!)
Dearest Tammy,
Wow, that looked like a special day with a hearty soup in the end!

My kind of lunch! Cupcakes a big favorite although the spiced lentil soup is a number one here. I make it at least every two weeks and double the recipe! Have a lovely day/evening. Blessings.
Hi Tammy,
Skinny latte and cupcake..my choice too...
Chick pea and spinach curry for me tonight with chappatti, healthy and delicious.
