Lentil Chili: Healthy Comfort Food at Its Finest

Well, we are back from our amazing whirl wind wedding week and honeymoon! It really was the trip of a lifetime. I was so ready to come home and really, FINALLY, get settled into our new home. Instead, we came home with a head cold (me) and food poisoning (Sean). So needless to say, we're pretty much still living like hobos with wedding bags unpacked and boxes waiting to be organized.


Yesterday I was finally feeling better, and wanted some warm comfort food to go with the blustery fall weather. But I wanted something healthy too, because I want to make sure I kick this cold for good.

Honeymoon Part 1

I'm on a train going 120 mph from Vienna to Salzburg, Austria. The free wifi is as speedy as the train itself, so I thought I would whip up a quick blog post on leg 1 of our trip - Vienna and Budapest.

The cities are absolutely beautiful and so clean. Everyone has been so friendly and so helpful. Both cities are very metropolitan, and so we tried to find some spots where the locals hang in addition to seeing the big tourist sights.

We went to a local beer garden and I got a "jacket potato" (baked potato) with garlic sour cream and chicken fajita on top. So amazing. In Budapest, everything had Paprika, my favorite of all the spices, and I was very happy. We had traditional Hungarian goulash that was perfect. 

Below are a few photos, but there will be many more to come via our camera. Apologies in advance for any poor formatting, as I'm using the Blogger app.

Me at Shonbrunn palace.

October fest being set up on the castle grounds in Budapest. There's been pizza everywhere here. Pizza unites us all.

My current view: the Austrian countryside whizzing by at 120 mph.

Honeymoon Part 2

Honeymoon part 2 is a little late, but there was no wifi on our 7 hour journey from Salzburg to Prague. There will be a very thorough blog when we are home, but here are some highlights of beautiful Salzburg, Austria!

Climbed to the top of Hohensalzburg Fortress!! 

A day trip to Halstatt, one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

Here's one of the Sound of Music filming locations. We did Sound of Music everything and it was perfection. 

We've been living it up in Prague and have just one day left! Two weeks had gone too fast :(

Can't wait to upload the photos from our camera. They're too beautiful. Also, there will be a "what I ate" post, followed by a "serious post honeymoon diet mealplans" post :)
