Youngest dd and I had pow wow today about food, training, and editing house
sKePTiKal:
Careful what you wish for Lighter! The rain stopped here, and our heat index (and humidity) have been busting thermometers. And once again, I'm literally sick from trying to do ANYTHING physical in this sun.
Yesterday was all-day pool party for Logan's birthday. 10 yr old boys are such FUN! (The little girls were cute & adorable too... but both Holly & I picked up on the typical jealousy reactions when there are 3, instead of 2. No meltdowns... but I could see the one left out, starting to wind up.)
Hops, except for the protein involved which would be a problem for you... the keto form of eating seems to work for a lot of people. It also limits carbs... but what people are doing, is making that carb restriction more flexible - and then using intermittent fasting - to stimulate weight loss. We all have to figure out what works best for each of our body types and metabolisms.
I found I absolutely have to have more carbs than the std numbers -- or I don't have the physical energy or motivation to get my body moving. So that's a trade-off until I change my eating habits enough to go further. (The body adapts.)
Holly's list of food she wants is mostly fruit - and a couple favorite junkfood items - LOL. She hasn't been into chocolate or cheese lately... but those are two things I know she likes.

Really, Hops? I'm so glad you like them. Did you put in garlic, tomatoes, and onion with plenty of olive oil? So many ways to make them. Make sure you try a beautiful lemony red wine vinegar chopped salad with cucumber, tomatoes, maybe radish, and parsley... maybe with Nature's Seasons. I love eating them together.
I did a tray of Cloud bread tonight.... they're cooling now. Some have a light lemony goat cheese over the top, and some have hard sausage slices tucked in. Some have a bit of cheese grated on top with a sprinkle of garlic salt. I like the texture of chia seeds sprinkled about.
I keep meaning to make some straight up plain, so I can do anything with them in a mood, but I get all excited, and forget.
Enjoy those lentils, Hops.

Hopalong:
I will enjoy them for DAYS. Thanks for that simple, doable, achievable, possible recipe for me!
I didn't quite get to the oily paste point you recommended in your first description (I searched Lighter and lentils and ta da), but I sauteed an onion in a good bit of olive oil, added a clove of garlic for a bit, then a can of diced tomatoes and water and let the green lentils simmer for
quite a while.
I also made half-red, half-white quinoa in Better Than Bouillon veggie stock (you add the paste to the hot water) and they turned out great.
Took them to a potluck and have loads left over.
Kitchen. In the morning.
hugs

Add a head of garlic if you like garlic, Hops. More onions. Some chopped carrots. Anything you like.... lentils rock.
