Lentil Dip Recipe

I love receiving new recipes! Here is one from my friend, Chris G. I hope you enjoy it!

Lentil Dip

1 cup lentils sprouted, (should be about 2 cups after sprouting)
1-2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil (Avocado or Flax works too)
2 Tblsp. pure lemon juice
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. Himalayan salt
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup diced avocado
1/8-1/4 cup minced cilantro, parsley, dill, or basil (I prefer cilantro)
1/2 carrot, thinly sliced
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced

Sprout the lentils. Mix all the ingredients together and adjust the flavors to taste. Some fun additions are dulse flakes, peas, corn, or minced red bell peppers. Enjoy!!!

We all have to eat, but...

Thanks for following our Energy Moms blog!! It's fun connecting with all you moms!

We all have to eat, but...sometimes we overdo it on the carbs! When you do overdo it on the carbs, you are robbing yourself of energy. My husband teases me that I say we have to have Fresh. Fresh fruits and vegetables are irreplacable when you are trying to create energy.

Here is a fun recipe from the book "Original Fast Foods". If any of you have some fresh and inviting recipes, I would love to hear from you (swissalps8@msn.com) and I will post them to this blog. Thanks for sharing!

Lack of Sleep?......Never!

With our busy schedules of every day life, sleep sometimes feels overrated. Then you add kids to the mix. It's been said (Dr. Phil) that having children is like having two full time jobs. I have to agree with that. It is crucial that we get our sleep so we can perform to the best of our abilities. Especially for this growing generation.

We have been told time and time again that it's very important to get 6-8 hours of sleep a night. What are some ways that you have made that a priority?
