I’m over this #pandora winter storm!
If you live anywhere near the east coast, I bet you’re ready to get warmed up, nourished and comforted.
There can be a tendency to carb load while hibernating. Don’t beat yourself up about it, just grab a your best pal and start chopping some veggies to make this ultra happy lentil stew!
Lentils are a great choice for Easter but they’re also wonderful to restore your frazzled adrenals and thyroid from all this cold, cold weather. Lentils are rich in B vitamins and minerals and are also an amazing source of fiber. Yummm!
This killer stew has loads of top notch nutrients to give you energy, clarity and grounding. All the spices combined with a rainbow of colors are sure to fill in any gaps you may have missed while riding out the snow!
