I don’t think that I’ve ever eaten so many lentils in one day! Holy lentils! 😯

But, at least I enjoyed some of them like this:

Oh, yes, that is a Lentil Brownie covered with warm caramel sauce, and it was fabulous! 😀

Lentil Brownies

Makes 12

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked lentils, drained
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 ounces chocolate-flavored yogurt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • Coat 8X8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pour batter into pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until brownies are firm.
  • Allow to cool before cutting.
  • Eat and enjoy!

These brownies turned out really chocolately, but the texture wasn’t quite right. I like my brownies moist and cake-like, but this batch was a bit too dense for me. Maybe the recipe needs some fat in it? Now don’t get me wrong, these Lentil Brownies turned out pretty good, but the recipe is still a work in progress, ya know? Of course, the caramel sauce made it taste better! 😉

Dinner

Tonight’s dinner also included lentils as well as brown rice, turkey kilbasa, onions, carrots, garlic, and Worceshire sauce. I didn’t measure any of the ingredients. I just cooked up the different elements, combined them in a big pot, and threw in galic and Worceshire sauce until it tasted good. What can I say, I like to wing it in the kitchen! 😉

I also drank a small glass of white wine with dinner.

Snack

For the record, I snacked on a Peanut Butter Cookie Luna Bar while at NuVal. Lunch didn’t hold me over very well, so a snack was much-needed. (Btw, I wasn’t a fan of this flavor. It tasted too artificial. Boo. 😕 )

Time to PACK and get my life together for tomorrow’s trip to Philly. I’m so excited!!! :mrgreen:
