    It seems to be that with each shift in season things get busier—slightly chaotic even—before settling into a routine again. While the chaos or the busyness is by no means bad, it always forces a kind of reset. Of mind, of habits, of meals. Probably (definitely) much needed, whether I'm ready for it or not.

    lentil-and-carrot-salad-tartines-2Between work and orchestra rehearsals as of late, I have been relying heavily on pantry staples mixed with the spring produce that is starting to pop up in the markets. From start to finish, cooking lentils couldn't be simpler, but here's a tip for those days when you just don't have the time or the want-to: Keep bags of already-cooked lentils in your freezer. You'll thank yourself every time.

    Lentil and Carrot Salad Tartines (gluten-free) | saltedplains.comThese lentil and carrot salad tartines (aka fancy toasts) are loaded with the good stuff. Protein and fiber-rich lentils mixed with olive oil, salt and pepper, and brightened with carrots, cranberries, and mint, sit atop homemade whipped feta. Light, yet filling. Simple, yet interesting. These tartines work for lunch, paired with soup for dinner, or served at brunch.
