what's cookin’ wednesday ?
Happy fall, ya all!
It’s our favorite time of year here at the Blue Barn Sanctuary- the air is getting chilly, the harvests AND the rains are coming in and it is time for SOUP, my friends!
We are firm believers that making plant based choices not only show compassion for our planet and the animals, but for our bodies as well. With the rains come the colds, fevers and flu so now is the time to fill your body with the good stuff! (and don’t forget to drink your water and get your zzzzzz’s ; )
Last week we harvested the last of our carrots and decided to make them the focus of our main meal. Ginger Carrot Red Lentil Soup anyone??? Trust me, you want to try this one…
They may not look so pretty, but believe me, they were TASTY!
One of our favorite parts of this recipe is that it is fast and easy- you guessed it, we make it in a crock pot! So all we do is chop some veggies, throw them in, and let them simmer all day..
Ginger, garlic, turmeric, smoked paprika, a little salt and you are set to simmer….
This recipe came out GREAT. Sweet, savory and super satisfying thanks to the hardiness of the lentils. Want to try it?
You can find the recipe here..
Give it a try and let us know what you think in the comments below or on Facebook & Instagram.
And while you’re at it, tell us how it feels to add one more compassionate choice to your day…
We look forward to hearing what you think here at the Blue Barn Sanctuary- where kindness, compassion and empathy grow.
With Gratitude,
Melissa
