Lentil Soup:
Ingredients

-1 teaspoon ground cumin
-1 teaspoon dried thyme

-5 cups baby spinach ( I used kale)
Directions:
-Peel and dice 2 medium carrots and 1 medium yellow onion. Mince 4 cloves garlic.
-Place 2 cups dried red lentils (about 1 pound) in a fine-mesh strainer. Pick through the lentils, discarding any broken or discolored ones. Rinse under cool water until the water runs clear, about 1 minute. Set aside to drain while you cook the vegetables.
-Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. -Add the carrots and onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-Add the lentils, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, and 6 cups broth, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally until the lentils are tender, 18 to 22 minutes.
-Remove from the heat and stir in 5 cups spinach until wilted.
*** Taste the soup and add a little more of each seasoning if needed!
ENJOY!

P W A A Hey guys welcome back we are getting ready to head out I’m taking you guys with me to candle making I am so excited but first wanted to go ahead and make a smoothie this has been my favorite one to have in the morning it’s just one
Banana a cup of some mixed fruit I did some ice cubes some almond milk and then I just blended it up and I ended up making a little bit more than I needed that’s okay I just sipped it down and then I topped it with some chia Seeds so we doing candle making at a store called candlefish and it’s downtown Charleston and I’ve been wanting to do candle making here for the last couple of years and I finally went for a class so here is how the store looks they had some really cute items I
Love that you could build your own little match container how cute is that you can pick your own little jar and then you can fill it up with any of the color matches you want and then they had so many different like candles of course
Cuz they are a candle store but they ALS Al had some really cute items like these glasses and these jars were super cute and I loved the croissant candles how cute are These so here’s how the candl making class looks it is in the back of the store and they run these classes all day which is so fun to come here with your girlfriends so here’s everything you’re going to need to make the candle we’re going to be making two candles today
They had us pick the scent that we wanted to use for our candles and everything’s numbered so that way you’re not biased you don’t really know what you’re smelling until you flip that card over so then we put our gloves on she’s just explaining what we’re going to be
Doing I put my glasses on and we are ready to get started on making the candle so the first thing I’m doing is I’m measuring out my scented Oil I thought it was so cool that candlefish had a like faucet where hot wax came out of it so she poured it in this big container and then we poured into our individual containers and you can see that poster board tells us exactly how much we need to pour so
Here’s how everything is looking I’m pouring that scented oil into my wax and then you just have to whisk it cuz we have to cool down that wax before making the Candle I put the little warning sticker at the bottom of my candle it felt so official and then we had a little stamp depending on what number you picked you would stamp it on your little label they had so many different options of candles I believe it was over 100 cents that you
Could pick from which was so cool so I’m just writing my name name on my little label and then I’m going to stick it on my Candle we had to whisk the wax a little bit more to cool it down and then it was ready to pour she gave us a little ruler so we would know exactly how much to pour and she told us to do it kind of evenly so I’m going between both little Canisters And there you have it the candle making class was so much fun you guys it was an hour and a half and I definitely think it was worth the price we get to take these two candles home but they definitely have to solidify so you have
To come back the next day to pick up your candles it’s the next day and I picked up my candles it turned out amazing it smells so good here’s how the candle looks I love the little custom label that we made it just feels like so custom and I went with fragrance number
39 if you happen to go to candlefish you have to smell it if you love like the sweeter like floral scents you will absolutely abely love fragrance 39 it just turned out so amazing now it was recommended from our candle instructor to not light it for full 2 weeks so that
Way the fragrance can really set in so that’s what I’m going to do but I just love the way they turned out I can’t wait to like them and then you do get 15% off the store if you take a candle making class so I ended up buying this
Guy and I thought it was just such a good deal for all of these matches I’ve been wanting a little container like this for a while I think I’m going to keep it on my coffee table and again you get to make your own little custom label
It had so many different stamps you can pick from I picked the one that says perfect match I that was so cute and you can pick your own matches and you can fit as much as you possibly can fit so I thought this was a really good deal my
Mom did black and white I just wanted to do solid black and look how Sleek this looks it looks so cute I may have to keep this in my office but love it look how cute candle fish’s bags are I have have to keep this it is so cute and then
I wanted to share with you guys a PR package I got so this is from the brand kills I love this brand I cannot wait to see what’s inside wow this is the perfect little travel hygiene bag love this so I have the ultra facial cleanser which I love
This stuff it is so gentle so hydrating I’m glad that I’m able to replenish this this one and then I got this guy I’m not sure what it is let’s see oh wow it’s an ultra facial barrier balm I’ve never tried this before so I’m excited to try
It and I love that it comes on like a little keychain so I can keep that on my keys oh my gosh I hope this is their Repair Cream yes I love this stuff it is amazing it’s so thick and hydrating it’s their Ultra facial Advanced repair Barrier cream this stuff is incredible
And then what else did I get and then I got their Ultra facial cream yay thank you kills for sending these goodies over I will make sure to link all these products because especially this facial cleanser and the Repair Cream are my favorites and I can’t wait to try the
Bomb but yeah they are such a good skincare brand I want to share with you guys how to make a delicious lentil soup recipe it has been my favorite thing to make this winter it is so good you guys so the first thing you want to do is
Chop up an onion and then you want to go ahead and peel your carrots and chop them as Well so once you have the vegetables chopped this recipe is so simple it’s really like a dump and go sort of recipe and it only needs one pan so I put a little bit of olive oil in the pan and I’m just cooking the onions until they’re translucent it took a few
Minutes and then I went ahead and added the carrots and cooked those until they were slightly Softened and then you add some garlic and cook it till it’s fragrant and then you add quite a bit of seasonings I will have the recipe typed down below for you guys I give everything a good stir and then we’re going to be adding the rest of the ingredients into the soup so
We’re adding some tomato sauce some chicken broth some washed lentils of course and then I added a ton of kale this recipe actually called for spinach but I think it tastes a lot better with kale so that’s what I added I gave everything a good stir and then you want
It to come to a boil and then you want to turn it down to a low simmer and cover it and let it cook the soup is done and tasted absolutely amazing give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it I would love it if you
