Keeping it simple Kids are back to school, Summer is waning and at this point many of us are feeling a little frazzled, a little harried, and moving in a few different directions until things settle into a routine. We don’t know about you, but the more effort we make to stay grounded, the more able we are to stay healthy and focused. For us, staying grounded means getting enough sleep, spending time on a yoga mat, and soulful, simple cooking. This simple French Lentil soup is exactly the kind of recipe we crave at this time of year: a hearty, grounding, nourishing meal that demands little more than some hands-off simmering. Enjoy!
