In December my son's high school honored it's teachers with 'Teacher Appreciation Day'. Parents volunteered to decorate, cook, serve and clean up. The food theme was 'hot in a crock'. I brought Vegan Lentil Stew and Vegan Cornbread Muffins.

There
were other vegetarian options but mine was the only vegan option and
all 8 quarts of it were eaten and enjoyed. I had so many requests for
the recipe I finally sat down and put together this recipe from memory.
As with all of my recipes, they change depending on what vegetables I
have on hand and what's in season.

| Peeling garlic |
 |
| Fresh chard from our local CSA, Laguna Farm |
 |
| Lentil Stew (with kale) served with avocados |
I almost always use my Cuisinart
food processor but with this recipe I hand chopped the onion, leeks and
chard so that the stew had more 'bulk' veggies.
I serve this stew with a big green salad and corn bread muffins but a bowl of the stew alone is a hearty meal. Enjoy!

Thank you to Chelsea for reminding me to get this recipe out on the blog . . .
Hello there! This may come across as completely random or the universe working it's magic. I work for the corporate office of Tony Robbins and I saw in one of your emails to us was the link to your blog at the bottom of the email. Since I am vegan I wanted to check it out and I am glad I did! I love your recipes and information you provide. I went vegan over 2 years ago and have lost 140lbs since. Being meatless has been the best thing I have done for myself. Keep up the great work and you can check out my facebook page for fun vegan videos and posts: www.facebook.com/inspirationaleve
