Tonight for dinner...

(Yes, I am already thinking about dinner at 9:00 a.m.) When it comes to food, I am a planner. I have to be with two young boys, a full time career and all of the other obligations that go along. We abhor eating crap which constitutes just about anything we can order on the phone, heat up after being frozen in a store cooler or drive through and buy. Tonight I will make curried golden lentil soup studded with delicately spiced miniature lamb meatballs. There will be greens in the lentil soup so this is a fully rounded, healthy meal. I will bake some fresh onion naan (traditional Indian flat bread) to round it out. I will also make a moderately spicy cilantro chutney for dipping the naan in. Cool refreshing mango lassi's, a traditional Indian beverage of yogurt blended with honey and fresh fruit (think milk shake) will also be served.

The greens (swiss chard and spinach) will come from my organic Winter garden which is still in full swing and loving this little bout of rain and cool, gray skies.

The lamb shoulder is from Prather Ranch.

The golden lentils, organic fruit and lentils hale from Monterey Market.

The kids have swim practice tonight and will be ravenous when they come home. Hubby is always ravenous :) .
