Easy Lentil Soup
"My toddler son is not a big meat eater so I make this soup at least once a week. When I add a whole grain, either when cooking or at serving, he gets a complete protein. Make sure you add vinegar (and even some more olive oil) when serving....it really makes the flavours pop!"

Hello....
I have been a good eater all my life with a real interest in trying new and interesting meals. I am the (annoying) one at the restaurant who wants to try everyone's dish. I love experimenting with recipes. I now have an adorable two year old sous-chef who, although is picky with food, is always game to help in the kitchen....even with the dishes! In fact, I came across Recipezaar while searching for healthy kid-friendly recipes.
I have a husband who is almost as daring as I with food, and two delicious little boys (2 yrs and 4 months).
