Yummy, healthy and as always, Owen approved!

ingredients:

1.5 cups dry green lentils

1 sweet potato, peeled and diced

1 large can diced tomatoes

1 medium yellow onion, diced

2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T minced ginger root

1 T olive oil

1.5 T curry powder*

4.5 cups water

two big handfuls fresh spinach, chopped a little

heat oil in large pot over medium heat, add onion and cook until soft and translucent (3 min or so) add garlic and ginger and cook another minute. add curry powder and stir around for a minute until onions look curry-coated. add lentils, sweet potato, tomato and water. add a little pinch of salt and pepper. bring to a boil then simmer for about 45 minutes until lentils are soft. add spinach and stir for about a minute. then enjoy!

*Any curry powder will be great. I tend to get sucked into the spice area at Whole Foods and usually come out with at least three baggies of curries to try. Let your nose lead you!

Nutritional info: this is one big pot full of crazy-good nutrients to warm your body and soul. I could make a very long list of all the goodness...but I'll break it down to this: you're getting your protein from the lentils, your iron from the sweet potato and lentils, and the vitamin C in the sweet potato and tomato help you absorb that iron, so you know it's getting into your body!
