  1. I saw your recipe the other day and it reminded me that I had a bag of lentils in my pantry...

    I rummaged in the freezer and found some homemade chicken stock and made some lentil soup in my crock-pot... Slow-cooked over several days. Last night we had it for dinner and it was really YUMMY!

    THANKS for the inspiration! ;-)
