Its always something!
Poor Nathaniel!
Had a steel door go OVER his foot at school on Monday. It went over his shoe and two pair of socks (Thaniel says his feet are always cold :) and still managed to take part of the nail and a bit of the toe. Luckily it wasn't broken but his poor big toe is a puple and black mangled mess!
Today was the first day I sent him back to school. He went in a pair of my slippers cause we still cant get a shoe on that foot - poor kid!

Crockpot Indian Inspired Chickpea, Potato & Lentil Ragout
This smells SO good - I cant wait for it to be done!
I haven't tried this one before but it's a variation of a recipe I saw on the Weight Watchers page. If it tastes as good as it smells it will be a winner! I also loved that I had all this on-hand! This would be great with Naan - but since I dont feel like running to the store I will probably serve this with Couscous.
Crockpot Indian Inspired Chickpea, Potato & Lentil Ragout:
1 med onion chopped
2 med potatoes diced
1/2 cup lentils
2 garlic cloves finely diced
1-2 teas fresh ginger shredded or half teas dry
1 small can diced jalapeños (with the juice)
1 14oz can Chickpeas drained
1/2 teas Garam Masala
1 teas Cumin
1 14oz can diced tomates (with the juice)
Salt
Mix all in Crockpot and stir until ingredients are just mixed. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hrs or on low for 7-8.
Salt to taste in the final hour.
Couscous
1 cup whole wheat couscous (I get mine at Trader Joes)
1 cup veggie broth (or coconut water would be yummy too)
2 teas olive oil
salt and pepper (optional)
Boil broth, turn off heat and stir in couscous. Cover. Let sit for 5 mins. Add olive oil and fluff with a fork.
