Acorn Lentil Soup
The last day of winter is upon us, so say good bye with one last hearty soup featuring the delicious taste of sweet acorn squash. If you've never cut one before see suggestions at the end to help you along. Lentils are a "gold mine" of soluble and insoluble fiber, folate and iron, and a real friend to your arteries, while the squash is a great supplier of antioxidant vitamin A. If you want to make the quesadillas suggested below, be sure to add them to your menu this week so they will be on the shopping list. Leftovers make great lunches!
