Best Day, Ever.

Today was the best day, ever.  We went on a hike, had a wiener roast, played in the yard (and the neighbour's yard), I went to hot yoga, and it ended with an impromptu family bbq.  Needless to say, I don't have a supper post to share!  BUT, I did make something from Simple Suppers that I never got around to posting on Thursday.  We had a warm lentil salad with french bread and it was delicious. 

Warm Lentil Salad

1 cup (french) lentils I never found french and this salad was still great

1/2 tsp salt

4 cloves of minced garlic

2 tsp ground fennel seed

 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3/4 cup chopped walnuts I forgot to add these, oops!
