After my weekend of debauchery, it’s been difficult to get back on the wagon. I’m pretty sure it’s the after effects of the alcohol and the sugar. However, the weather hasn’t helped either — it’s a balmy 54 degrees and cloudy. Happy June. Nor has a ridiculous number of social food-oriented obligations for that matter: dinner out last night, lunch out today, dinner out tomorrow. You get the idea.

Even though I really want chocolate cake (yes, I realize it’s only 8:14 in the morning!), I think I’ll make some soup instead. I’ll stick with my old standby, Lentil Barley. Not only is this super healthy, it’s one of those stick to your ribs, scent the house, and season perfectly for dinner sort of soups. It’s also super, super easy — always a plus!
