This Sweet and Sour Lentils recipe contains the perfect combination of sweetness to sourness and packs a punch with nutritious vegetables, fruit, legumes, and whole grains. I am still majorly going strong on the sweet and sour kick. It's really quite funny, actually, because I refused to eat sweet and sour sauce as a child. My [...]

Hi there and happy Monday to ya! Is it just me or are Mondays after a three day weekend even more difficult to face than the average Monday? I dislike them... a lot. My first day back at work will be a shorter one, though. I decided to stay in my hometown through Sunday night and [...]
