I LOVE Barefoot Contessa

I have been ravenously watching the Food Network for the past few weeks, simply because I am finally in a country where I understand how to make food, even if it is from scratch, and I'm just a fan of cooking in general. And one of my faves has become Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa. She makes wonderful recipes without bizarre, complicated ingredients (like truffle oil), and the result is always enough to feed a (large) family, with some leftovers to boot!

Tonight we make her delicious Lentil Sausage Soup, since it was really the first chilly, autumnal day we've had this month. WOW!!! Super easy to prepare with fabulous flavor, I highly recommend it for any of your winter nights. She calls for green french lentils, but I just use regular lentils and shorten the cooking time.

Happy cooking!
