- they are CHEAP!!! a 1 pound bag runs about $1.00 at your local Wal-Mart.
- a little bit goes a long way. most recipes use about 1/4 of your 1 pound bag (1 cup). that's 25 cents for the main ingredient in your meal.
- lentils are meaty. because they are so loaded with protein, in many recipes they end up tasting very meaty (but without the greasiness and fattiness that often accompany this quality).
- not only are lentils protein-rich, but they are fat-free and are a good source of fiber, too. hooray for healthy beans!

I can tell this is going to be my new favorite blog! So, if you know the cheapest way to get chicken breast or tenders I think you should publish it. I never know if I'm getting a good deal or ripped off! And hey, chicken is healthy
p.s. the header is unbelievably cute.
Britt! We had this for dinner tonight. Yum yum. I have had this bag of lentils for a long time and have been wondering what to use it for...thanks! We'll be anxiously awaiting next week's recipe.
I love using lentils, and I really like the design of your blog.
At first I was very skeptical, but since Britt has been making us a fabulous dinner every night, I had to try these. They are FABULOUS! Best tacos I have every eaten. Great flavor and texture. Thanks, daughter, for taking such good care of us.

Great idea with the chicken! I'll get working on that post. :)

So glad you liked them! Aaron was super skeptical the first time I made them - until he tried them! Now he requests them regularly.

Isn't the design fun? I wish I could take credit for it, but alas, I have no artistic talent. Luckily, my friend Jeanie does!
And thanks mom!! :) You're so sweet!
