LENTIL SOUP




Since we had a whole chicken to use up yesterday, we made lentil soup.  I didn't measure out the ingredients which was a shame because Willa thought it was 'too runny' so next time I will need more than the 1 mug of lentils that I used for the size of my pot.  

Personally I really liked the taste - lentil soup on chicken is something that I associate with comfort as my mam used to make it if any of us had the cold- she said that the chicken broth from the bones would perk us up.  

I just boiled up the chicken crang when all the meat had been taken off, and then added a mug of lentils to the broth, added an onion, four carrots, and a chicken stock cube.  

Willa gave it a 9/10 but said it tasted good and she would give it a 10 if it was thicker!

Meanwhile, Nina had missed the Enchiladas because she had her 'denner' at Granny Linda's and also made a super cute craft while she was up there.  When she got back she got her roast chicken with tatties, gravy and vegetables for her tea, but she ate it up so fast I only got a pic at the end of her meal :)

  Hello!!! I'm Willa Mae.  I am 8 years old and live on a small island called Whalsay in Shetland. I am very interested in cooking, baking and generally being as healthy as possible!  I have a health condition called Craniopharyngioma which means that I need to have a lot of appointments at the hospital and with people who help to keep me well.   I have started this page to share some recipes that we are making at home.  I will be very honest and tell you my thoughts on the recipes that we try!  I plan to rate them on: - How easy to get the ingredients? - How much did I enjoy making it? - How much do I like the taste? - How likely am I to make it again?  I hope that some of you will try some of the things that we cook and bake on my blog :)  I may also throw in some other wellbeing activities that I do to keep healthy and happy :) I sometimes type up my blog myself, or sometimes I tell Mam and Dad what to write and they do the typing for me! ...

  ROAST MUTTON FOR TEA!  We never had our 'Sunday denner' yesterday as we were just back from having a sleepover for a wedding, and so just had heated up lentil soup for lunch, and quiche for tea.  We felt like we needed our Sunday fix so Mum and Dad made a 'Monday denner' instead.  Willa's ratings:  Easy to get the ingredients - Yes, we ate local today - we got the mutton from Granny Linda & Da Wilbert, and the eggs for the Yorkshire puddings from them too! We got the 'Bressay tatties' and all veg from Tetley and Anderson, apart from the broccoli, which we got from Tesco on Saturday, but overcooked it and it was looking a bit droopy.  We even used Shetland salt.   Me and Granny Linda & Da Wilbert's Hens  Easy to make - Yes, Mum put the lamb in the the oven and slow cooked it, and prepped all the tatties and veg - then she took me swimming so Dad took over and cooked it, and made the Yorkies.  My sister Nina says Dad makes the be...
