Now that I am done school (at least for this semester...I'm not sure when I'm going back) I feel like my mental capacity has increased - a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders. As a result of this, I came to realize that I should be doing a much better job with preparing meals for our family (or dinners at least). I am quite proud of my latest endeavor -
Moroccan Red Lentil Soup and from-scratch
FRENCH BREAD! I had never used yeast in my life before this. Here are a few of my brag photos. You'll just have to take my word for it that it was delicious!

P.S. I didn't have turmeric, saffron or tomato paste, so instead I substituted dry mustard powder for the turmeric, left out the saffron (not sure I like it), and just added a few more tomatoes in place of the tomato paste. I also let simmer quite a bit longer than the recipe called for.
What is one of your favorite winter recipes?
