No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Lentil & Kale Stew (Vegan)

I kept the flavours in this stew simple by using just salt, pepper and a pinch of rosemary.

Lentil & Kale Stew
Makes 2 Servings

 Ingredients
  • 1 leek, rinsed and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • ½ cup dry lentils (any colour)
  • ½ teaspoon pink salt
  • black pepper
  • pinch of dried rosemary
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (more as needed)
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 small potato diced
  • ¼ cup frozen green peas
  • 1 - 2 cups chopped kale
Directions
  1. Saute the leek in avocado oil for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in the lentils, salt, pepper and rosemary.
  3. Stir in the broth and allow to simmer until the lentils are almost done.
  4. Stir in the carrot and potatoes and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the lentils and vegetables are cooked through.
  5. Stir in the peas and kale and cook until the kale is wilted and the peas are heated through. There shouldn't be much liquid at this point, it should be like a stew. If your stew ever gets too dry, you can always add a splash more broth as needed.
