      Oh I’m so glad you posted this recipe. I’ve been wanting to try lentils but am a little afraid. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten them before (and I’m 35!!!) I can’t wait to try this recipe. Looks super easy and that’s totally up my alley.

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
