Cheapest dinner and diet update.

Dear reader,

After a long day at work I wanted something warm and no fuss to make. Trying to eat a bit less meat for health and cost reasons.

I reckon this is one of the cheapest meals ever.

Lentils

Garlic

Turmeric

Chop garlic, gently sauté (I use 4 bulbs, we love it! )

Add  lentils

Add water

Bring to boil and simmer

Add a pich of turmeric for yellow colour

Simmer until,thick and creamy.

Lentil dhal. Perfect with plain boiled rice. You can add chopped coriander or crispy friend onions if you want to make it special. 

It's not bad for dieters either as long as you don't fry the garlic in a load of oil. 

A few of us started out some months ago with a weight loss challenge. We kind of lost touch and I often wonder about you all. I am happy to report that I have lost 3 stones. I am very pleased but don't feel that I go without. I would be interested to hear your stories and challenges along the way.

I am going for another half a stone before Christmas. Any takers up for a challenge?
