Lentils and Rice
The struggle between preparing a healthy and delicious meal for yourself at home or throwing your hands in the air and going out for food is a challenge most of us face on a regular basis. The latter is often more expensive, time consuming and not as satisfying or nutritious. If you're like me, you prefer eating at home and cooking your own meals as often as possible yet our friend/enemy 'time' doesn't always allow such a union to come together. I created this recipe on a day I was short on time before heading out for the afternoon. From the moment I started pulling out the ingredients to the moment I sat down to eat exactly forty minutes had passed. The dishes, well, that's another story.

I have some lentils I've been meaning to cook - this sounds like a great recipe for them. And just perfect for the cool weather - thanks!
Lentils and rice are my ultimate comfort food. I love eating it more than mashed potates. Thanks for sharing.
