So I ♥ lentils, and you already knew it, and now you know it more.
You. Have you ever made lentils? I’ve been nicely yelling at you to TRY LENTILS for the last few, um, years? But seriously. Try them. I mean, buy them and make them. Not a health food store person? Doesn’t matter. They usually have bags of them in the dry rice and beans section of any average grocery store.
