S'more Cups

I made these S'more cups for a Chili Cook-off this weekend and they were a hit.  It took me about 45 minutes to make 2 batches...very easy!  I'm going to make these as an "All Saints Day" treat for religion next week.  I checked the boxes and none of the ingredients are made from tree nuts, so it's safe for the people in my class who have allergies!  Note:  Nestle chocolate chips are a nut allergen, but Hershey's are not!

Vegetable Soup with Lentils

I'm baaack!  Simmering on the stove right now is a pot of vegetable soup with lentils, I'm sure they will love it! 

I sauteed an onion for a few minutes in olive oil and added 2 cloves garlic.  Then I added 1c lentils, a teaspoon or so of rosemary and thyme, 1 can diced tomatoes, 3 cups mixed vegatables (mine are the garden trio from Costco and it's just corn, carrots, and green beans) and a quart of vegetable stock.  Simmer for 45 minutes, or until lentils are soft, and it should be delicious!
