Try preparing this delicious meal ahead of time so all you’ll need to do on a busy weeknight is warm up the food—minimal effort required—and the rest of the evening is yours to savour.
Lentils, rice and vegetable flakes make a colourful, healthy gift for vegetarians — or anyone who enjoys hearty soup. Look for the ingredients at bulk-food stores. Include a set of soup bowls and the recipe for Lentil Soup (see below) with this mix.
Deli-sliced smoked turkey, creamy cheese and sauteed mushrooms make a delicious combination. Of course, you can omit the turkey for vegetarian friends.
