Meredith left a comment on my blog a few weeks ago about Lentils. I bought a bag as my new try for that week, but then never used them... Because I was in a food rut...
Which you will see via the posts this week, that my food rut has come to an end....
So tonight I cooked the Lentils..I made A LOT of LENTILS..... And then thought..."What are you going to do with all these"
NOTE TO SELF... little beanie, seedy or rice things expand, a lot when cooked....
Anyway, then I remembered my Raw Garden Fresh Salsa and Raw Creamy Guac from the other day... then I remembered my romaine lettuce in the fridge...And taco seasoning in the drawer...
Here, I introduce you to my Lentil Taco Bar Dinner...
Notice the salsa is 1/2 gone now... Hubby has been Chowing on that stuff... For the "meat" I mean Lentils, I just grabbed a few spoon fulls from the Pot, mixed with Organic Natural Taco Seasoning and some lemon juice.
Then I just layered the three
Look at this AWESOME Taco...
It was sooo good, that I had a second... and while making my second... Mr. Hubby walked around the corner and SNATCHED IT!!
Yeah.. He did... Mr. "I'm not hungry"... "I'm not eating that lentil stuff" Hubby.... He not only ATE IT but he commented on how good it was and asked if there was more...
Then asked me to mix some up for tomorrow... and so I did... And made my self an awesome Tiffin Style Lentil Taco Salad for lunch.
Thank you Meredith for the Lentil Inspiration... Next stop.... Sloppy Joes.....
What else can I use Lentils for? Anyone have good ideas??
