New Year Lentils
Across the globe people bring in the New Year with either a bean or lentil soup. Many believe the lentils resemble money. Eating them at the start of the year will help ensure prosperous months to follow.
Other than tasting really good in the various soup recipes, lentils are amazingly good for you. They are full of vitamins and minerals, high in fiber and protein. Not only would they be good for body builders they would be great for people that have reduced carbohydrates in their diets. Vegans love them because it adds dimension to a variety of dishes.
Because Lentils have the ability to absorb a great amount of flavors from broths and vegetables, you can prepare them as a soup or tasty dip. Check out these recipes.
tasty design 4 (literally)
A few years back a friend at work gave me a chocolate truffle from Vosges. I had never seen or heard of chocolate being combined with exotic flowers and hot spices. Right before I take my first bite, she says, “Do you know how to eat a truffle?” Up until that moment I had never given it much thought. Apparently when you are about to bite into heavenly goodness, you need to take your time. (Read this).
In my mind it would be like going on a date with Eva Mendes. I would probably want to enjoy every minute. She’s velvet cacao and spice wrapped up in a curvy little package. Where was I? Oh yeah, Vosges. You will be amazed with their passion for chocolate and exciting flavor combinations. The designer in you will love the gorgeous packaging and attached literature, so you may want to consider Vosges for this year’s gift idea.
