I continually fail at my attempts to be more green. I use straws occasionally, I still buy items packed in plastic sometimes, I buy fast fashion simply because it’s cute, and I still enjoy meat most days. I’m okay with all of this, it’s a process and I’m working on it. There are ways to help me avoid these pitfalls: always having my reusable straw, planning ahead to bring glass to-go containers with me when I go out to eat, avoiding the Target clearance section, and last but not least – Coconut Lentil Dal.

The spice blend of your dreams |
If you’re looking for a fantastic meatless Monday dish, or you happen to be a vegan, gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, who likes quick and easy meals, then this is the dish for you.
I’ve essentially combined a few recipes I’ve loved into one I can’t resist. I am like obsessed with this meal. I’ve told multiple Trader Joe’s cashiers about it. I make it weekly, sometimes for dinner with rice or cauliflower rice, sometimes I meal prep it for lunches throughout the week. Thanks to the prepped lentils at Trader Joe’s this recipe comes together in about 30 minutes, or less!
