A Sweet Cup Of Ambar + Baker’s Mat GIVEAWAY!

October 18, 2014      Cook It Girl      3 Comments

Hello there 🙂

RANDOM PICTURE ALERT. I have so much to talk about. I mean that’s why bloggers are bloggers right? To talk. A lot. So let’s get started!

1. On this post of a Sweet Cup of Ambar I must begin with Once upon a time. Dude. IT IS AMAZING. Ok so if for whatever crazy reason you have not watched this amazing show, you need to. Like now. GO! I spent almost 2 whole weeks watching, eating and breathing this show. I watched it while eating, taking a shower, driving (don’t do this at home) and on my lunch breaks. It’s that good! The thought of each season having 22 episodes threw me off, I thought I’d get bored BUT I was hooked! And still am!IMG_89182. Joy the Baker, one of my inspirations, came out with a new cook book! It’s a must have. Only because she is the bomb.com.

3. What do you love most about Halloween? Me? That Halloweentown on Disney comes on! Only the BEST movie ever!

4. This Halloween cocktail. I love candy corn.IMG_88735. Christmas is right around the corner. LITERALLY. I am so excited! My friends and family are a tad bit annoyed already. Who cares! It’s the best time of the year.

6. Talking about Christmas my wedding is right around the corner and I am loving the decorating aspect of it! Danny ( my fiance) and I are looking forward to a nice one week vacation after the madness! January needs to hurry up please!

7. Let’s not even mention how I feel like boycotting that thing called a “diet”. Would I like to look good in my wedding dress? Yes. Do I really have to stop eating everything and just eat grass!? NO. I mean come on. I eat a hamburger and I grow another arm. Lord knows what would happen if I completely stop! I need some help sweet baby Jesus! Why can’t it just disappear when I swallow fatty foods? Someone help!

8. So, I don’t have a fashion sense what so ever. I usually take out time and go on people style watch and copy celebrity’s outfits. No judge zone. My favorite pick of the week is this amazing outfit. It’s sexish. I would probably be hot & cold at the same time. Ha ha.

I started loving lentil soup just a few years ago I started loving lentil soup  just a few years ago when one of my very close friends gave me some of her lentil soup to try. I have been missing out my whole life! Jordy, thank you for this amazing recipe! Now I can share it with all of you ❤️ 

Lentil Soup 
 
-16 oz Bag of lentils 
-1/4 Cup of olive oil 
-14 oz Sausage 
-1 ½ Teaspoon of salt 
-1/2 Teaspoon of black pepper 
- 1 Whole onion, diced 
-6 Garlic cloves, diced 
-2 Bay leaves 
-1 Sweet potato 
-2 Carrots 
-1/2 Teaspoon of red pepper flakes 
-1 Cup of chicken broth 
-12 Cups of water
 
1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook until slightly browned, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. 
2. Add onions and garlic, and saute for about 3 minutes (while scraping bottom of pan to get the browned bits), stirring frequently.
3.     Stir in chicken broth, water, lentils, salt, pepper and bay leaves. 
 
4.     Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, partially cover the pot and allow to cook for 30 minutes, occasionally stirring (stirring is important so that the lentils don’t stick to the bottom of the pot). 
 
5.     At the 30-minute mark, add the potatoes, red pepper flakes and carrots. 
 
6.     Cover the pot and continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes (in total it is 45 minutes to boil once you add the lentils). 
 
7.     Enjoy!
