Hello Friends,
Happy New Year. 2018 was such a long and busy year, would not bore you with details.
Do you have any nutritional and fitness goals for 2019? For me, it is eating more plant-based foods, and fish for protein. I am doing better with gym classes, and that gladdens my heart :).
This recipe is a quickie literally. It was prepared in under 30 minutes, and tasted fantastic. I used a new seasoning from Tjmaxx (do you like shopping for seasonings at TjMaxx?), Paellero. Also got Dried Shallots and Fire Roasted Onions.
The Paellero gave this dish a vibrant yellow undertone and a subtle lemony background flavor. I enjoyed the lentils with fried plantains.
