Why Dinner Time Doesn’t Stink Anymore

I despise being hungry. There is no greater thing that I am more sympathetic towards than hunger, because I am a wildebeest when my belly is near empty. So as much as I love food, there are times that the thought of cooking makes my skin crawl because when I’m hungry there is nothing worse than standing over a stove and staring a food that is not ready to be stuffed into my greedy mouth. That is why dinnertime sometimes stinks for me - it’s a reminder that soon I am going to be in the throws of waiting for delicious food.

That is why I thank God for Costco, who so loving provides me with Tasty Bite Madras Lentils. These packets are so fast, so tasty and very good for this growing gal. Perfect for those of us who try to eat vegetarian and gluten free. I just boil some water and put one in the saucepan for 5 minutes. Once they are heated I love to pour them over tortilla chips and add some organic salsa (also from Costco), Horizon organic cheese and avacado slices for a healthy nacho plate. There are other great recipes for the lentils and more products at Tasty Bite’s website. P.S. - How cute is the name Tasty Bite? Like something I wish my husband called me..

This is served at the Neubauer table at least once a week. My chance meeting at Costco has turned out to be one of my favorite meals on our small but honorable rotation so I had to share!
