I am always on the hunt for filling, cheap and family friendly meals. This one is perfect and will even work well once Ever is eating food; this lentil mash would be a perfect early food!
Crockpot Lentils
3/4 cup red lentils
one can whole black beans
half cup green salsa (or to taste, however much you want. We use the TJ’s Salsa Verde.)
2 cups water
Cook for a 2-3ish hours on low.
Fill corn tortillas with lentils, top with feta and pico de gallo. YUM and super filling!
Apple Strawberry Crisp
three apples sliced thin, skins on
big handful of strawberries
one cup oats mixed with two tbs butter and a heavy handed shake of cinnamon
bake at 350 25-30min
top with fresh whipped cream and a little honey (if you like it sweeter)
Our strawberry plants have been working over time! Each week we have had a pretty significant haul – enough for this crisp and some fresh berries with cream for breakfast this morning. And the apples were picked from a neighbors tree on a walk tonight (sanctioned, of course. I always wonder about that. . . is it ok to pick a few plums from a tree on a walk with out permission? people with fruit trees, weigh in!) and immediately plopped into this crisp!
We have a few fruit trees (2 plum, an apple, and a pear)…we say pick pick pick. Otherwise, it goes to waste in my yard. Come by and get some if you want…plums are almost ripe!!!
Thanks for these recipes! The lentils look delicious, can’t wait to try them! I’m down for ANYTHING crock pot!
