November 22, 2021 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Lavender Lentils

November 20, 2017 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

More on the Plate than Food Originally posted for Huffington Post on 12/12/2016 This lavender lentil recipe has become a Thanksgiving staple at my house. Happy Thanksgiving. In a recent survey that bummed me out, more than half the Amerians polled say their family doesn’t know how to choose healthy food. Over 40 percent say they’d eat healthier, except…
