Curried Squash and Red Lentil Stew
2 TBL olive oil
2 cups peeled & cut butternut squash
1 large onion chopped
3 carrots, chopped
2 ribs celery chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 TBL minced, peeled ginger
1 TBL (or more) good quality curry powder ( I use Penzey’s)
1-cup red or green lentils (red get mushier!)
2 quarts vegetable or chicken broth
2 TBL lemon juice
Sauté vegetables in a large heavy pot over medium heat until vegetables are beginning to soften. Add ginger & curry and cook about two minutes, stirring frequently. Add lentils and broth and simmer, covered until lentils are tender, 25-40 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. |

Here are a few tips to help you set SMART goals for 2012:
1. Be SPECIFIC. Goals should be detailed and focused.
2. If you can MEASURE your progress you will be more likely to stay on track.
3. Goals should be ACTION-ORIENTED. What actions do you need to take to progress towards your goal?
4. Be REALISTIC. Goals should be challenging but not impossible.
5. Set a TIMELINE to encourage action avoid procrastination.
Set both short and long term goals. Reaching your smaller goals will give you the motivation to continue striving towards the big ones. Good luck and have a happy and healthy New Year!

After School Snack Attack (Chocolate)
1/3 cup silken tofu
