Wow, Debbie! What a story. With a question, a new world has opened for you.

I am excited for this week's menu. I really appreciate the "next-overing" of the lentils. Prepping and next-overing are incredibly important to the way I cook. With 4 teenagers and a demanding job, I just don't have a lot of time mid-week.

To make this #AIP compliant

Monday: I'll sub cauliflower rice for the rice and skip the naan.

Tuesday: I'll use Siete Cassava flour tortillas and some roasted parsnips instead of corn.

Wednesday: I'll make veg fritters instead. I love using broccoli slaw for veg fritters. I can add the lentils to the slaw. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes-menus/crispy-grain-cakes-fritters-burgers-article

Thursday: I'll use cauliflower rice, add a lot (like 10) crushed garlic cloves, saute until they are beginning to brown and a few splashes of fish sauce. I'll also peel and deseed the cucumbers.

Friday: I'll try this recipe with chickpea pasta.

Off to wash my hands....

Veg fritters is such a good idea! I love Epicurious's "without a recipe" series. And I'm a huge fan of broccoli slaw, but for me it's an easy lunch: About 30 minutes before I want to eat, I toss a whole bag of it with seasoned rice vinegar, and toss every 10 minutes or so until it's softened. Then I eat the whole damn thing. I buy 5 bags at a time these days.
