hon-is that your photo? I have resolved to incorporate more lentils/beans and less meat into our diet so thanks for a great recipe.
I wish Jennifer : ) I have tried and tried to get appetizing pictures with my camera but no luck. Maybe I will buy a better camera one day but for now, I'll let someone else do it : )
The lentils have a yummy chew to them so it's a very satisfying vegetarian meal. This used to be a favorite of mine!
I made Lentils today too!! I didn't post it yet. Yours looks amazing!!!
hey chicky,
the lentil salad looks great and i dont even cook lentils that often b/c i always turn them to mush LOL
about being homeschoooled and working in a hardware store..LOVED That comment :) and when we were living in SD I was 100% totally active in the local homeschooling community. I plan to h.s. skylar til she's old enough to want to ask to go to schoool. Of course this may always change and at age 5 she may be in kindy, but the plan is some h.s.'ing.
Have a great nite and weekend sweetie!

I am a huge lentil fan. That's something I do eat cooked occasionally.
I kind of thought I might be eating them again by now but it has yet to get cold here. It's 75 out today and that's how it's been for a few weeks now. Not that I'm complaining : )
This looks soooo good! yummy! thanks for sharing!!!
