I made this today for the first time. It is yum!
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. olive oil
1 1/2 c. vegetable broth
1/2 c. dry lentils, rinsed
3 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin (I also used PC SW seasoning)
1 c. frozen corn
1 c. salsa, fat free
1/4 c. tomato paste
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. white vinegar
In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender.
Add the broth, lentils, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until lentils are almost tender.
Stir in the corn, salsa, tomato paste, oregano and vinegar (I also added salt and pepper). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 min. longer or until lentils are tender.
Serve with brown rice and cheddar cheese.
YIELD: 4 cups lentils
1/2 c. = 1.5 WW points, 3/4 c. - 2.5 WW points; 1 c. = 4 WW points

Thankful Thursday
Today I am thankful for:
The opportunity to go to the yummy yarn store with my sister, mom and gramma.
That tomorrow is Friday and Doug will be home. It's been a long week.
That school is going smoothly this year.
That it is above freezing, in January!! for several days in a row even!
And the sun is SHINING!!
How about you? What are you thankful for today?

New Year's Eve
How do you celebrate New Year's Eve?
We celebrated by going to a fancy schmancy dinner dance with friends. We've gone to this same event the past several years. It was fun. Great food, great friends and great music.
Last year Doug and I committed to getting healthy and losing weight. Doesn't everybody do that in January? Well, we actually followed through all year. Between the two of us we've lost 102 lbs. this year. We aren't finished yet, either. We'll keep going. I'm halfway to goal; Doug is about 1/3 the way there.
Here is photographic proof :) I was excited to compare our last year's pictures with this years.
Next year I'll be able to post before/during/after pictures! We both are working hard to reach our goal by the end of the year.
Do you follow through on the goals you set at the beginning of the year? I don't usually, but this year, I am so glad I did!h
