Lentejas Charros

I attended a Christmas party for Herbalife one day.  I was troubled as to what to make.  I thought to myself, "oh gosh, do I have to make something healthy?"  Well the answer was no, but I decided it was just easier to go the healthy route.  Therefore, I made something that has become very popular in my house in hopes that everyone would like them, and boy, did they ever.  So, that day, I chopped all my ingredients and brought my crockpot to work.  I let the pot do all the cooking but I created all the magic.  So the recipe is as follows:

2 lbs lentils
2 jalapeños chopped
2 green onions chopped
2 tomatoes chopped
1 bunch of cilantro rough chopped
1 pkg of cubed ham
2 beef flavored bouillon cubes
1/4 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp ground cumin(comino)

You can add more jalapeños if you want spicier.  I simply added all of my ingredients into a crock pot and cooked on high for 5-6 hours.  These are absolutely delicious and nutritious!!

GREAT THINGS TO COME!!!!

On a regular basis, I have people ask me for my recipes to make things. I am no professional cook, but I have perfected some recipes over time. With the help of my husband, I have perfected some that are original and others that have been handed down to me from my grandmothers or my mother in law.  So...I have decided to do a blog to give you recipes. Some will be healthy and others may not, but nonetheless, they are good.  Let's do this!!!!
