Healthy Eating...Lentils!!

Had to nip out to Sainsbury's this morning because the babies had run out of their chicken. We cannot not give them their chicken because Bobby sits in the kitchen all through our lunch making us feel so guilty. So the chicken fillets £3.99 and the cat biscuits for the cat next door, and the cat food came to more than all our shopping put together!!
I was looking for green lentils for our tea tonight. We don't have these very often, but I saw a tasty looking low calorie recipe in the Asda magazine I thought I'd try. It is Vegetarien sausages with green lentils, but we had the sausages last night in a toad in the hole, so I am going to use Quorn tomato fillets instead.
The lentils were quite a good buy actually because they were 45p a tin or 3 tins for a pound and I only need one tin so will use the others in casseroles etc.
Very cold wind today, not a gale but just really cold, we were going to go to Ormskirk but got up too late...the bed was too comfy, and VT was too cuddly!! and little Rusty was on top of us! One of the marvellous things about being retired is that you can do what you want when you want and if you don't feel like going out don't..simple...
Tonight we are having:
Vegetarian tomato fillets with Green lentil sauce,
Maybe the rest of the butternut squash and sweet potato that was left from the toad yesterday.
That by the way was delicious.. I roasted some butternut squash and sweet potato cubes in a tin, added some mushrooms, and some baby plum tomatoes and poured over the yorkshire pudding batter. Added the veggie sausages. Very tasty indeed.
Great veggie food.
