Most delicious vegetarian lunch.
Red kidney beans soup + chopped sweet plantains, with a side of rice.

Sharing along a Colombian style recipe for lentils. Super yummy and easy to make vegetarian meal.
½ cup lentils
1 ½ cups water
1 small tomato, chopped
1 small onion, chopped 
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 small yellow potatoes, cubed

Instructions
Combine the lentils, water, tomato, onion, cumin, salt, and vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook and stir at a boil until the lentils are soft, about 30 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes more.
Tip: I prefer to chop the vegetables very small, so that when they cook they blend with the broth.

It was magical to spend my birthday with an outdoor beach outing and enjoying a vegetarian lunch. Sometimes I take for granted the beauties hiding in my state. Without nature we wouldn’t have the ability to enjoy this view; the peace, the tranquility of the sand on your toes, the salt water on your skin and the refreshing coastal breeze.

Today I had the most successful morning meditation. I was able to focus entirely on setting my goals in my thoughts and tuned out any outside noise. The best part of my session is the gratefulness, where I list things I am grateful for, like having a great job, a home, food and health.
