I usually make this in the oven, but you know I just had to try it in the crock pot! It worked!

So, my mama was coming to visit and I like to try to impress her with lots of different dishes that are easy to make. She’s a real “meat and potatoes” kind of girl who likes plain things, so if I make something spicy or complicated, it had better taste good. Because….well, don’t we all aim to please our mothers a bit? Don’t we want them to be proud and take a bite and say, “Well, look at what a little chef you turned out to be?” Yeah, well, I do.
So, I made this:
Lentil score!

I finally did it. I made lentils soooo good, I could kiss myself! Hooray! Hooray! I should throw a party. Only took me 3 years.

The old me would say, “I can’t even pronounce it, there’s no way I can cook it.” The new me says, “Try anything.” (IN THE CROCK POT!) Turned out beautiful, colorful and highly nutritious. I had some fresh green beans that were about to go, so as my grandmother (the one who wasn’t a fabulous cook but did raise and feed 7 children) would say, “Throw it in there. No need to waste.”

Lentil, rice and veggie stew

I’ve attempted cooking with lentils various times but they always come out tasting….well….tasteless. This time I cooked it using various frozen, cooked and fresh vegetables with different spices. My husband inhaled it!
Stuffed cabbage rolls brimming with veggies!

We had just picked a handful of baby carrots from the garden and plucked our last cabbage. We argued about what to do with it. I like cabbage raw. Matt likes it cooked. Then I stumbled across this vibrant picture on AttractingWellness.net. It looked so colorful and nutritious. Though we didn’t have the bright, lovely purple cabbage she had, we still had cabbage. Problem solved! Thanks Attracting Wellness!

Rice in the crock pot? Why not? It frees up the stove to make other holiday goodies! So easy!
Stuffed cabbage rolls

The ingredients in these sounded so nutritious! This would be a GREAT recipe to make with kids. Tiny hands would have no problem with the folding and arranging and scooping. It takes a bit of pre-work, but they were delicious and filling and worth it!
Served with a side of fresh cabbage sprinkled with salt.
