    A thick and slightly spicy vegetarian stew that is slowly simmered on the cooktop.
    When it is cold outside I don't want to leave my house, and it was cold out there today! So, I stayed in, did some laundry, surfed the internet, looked over magazines and aggravated Grumpy. Well, I had to do something to liven my day! He wouldn't know what to do with himself if I weren't around here to aggravate him anyway, so I'm kind of obligated to do it. You know?!

    I knew I could probably get away without making something else to go with our dinner if I was making what we call Lentil Stew. Grumpy likes it and he doesn't complain that it is vegetarian. However, he did mention tonight he thought ham would be good in it. I'm turning a deaf ear to that though. I like my lentil stew just the way I make it. Meatless. Totally meatless.

      Made a variation of this for lunch, removed the tomatoes and doubled the basil - it was oh so good definitely a keeper for my recipe book.

      Lentil soup is a staple in Greek food culture, has been since the most ancient times. It is an excellent winter comfort food and now I am going to make some for lunch today! 🙂

      I adore lentils but unfortunately my guys get all freaky! I have an awesome lentil burrito recipe that is "wet" and baked but alas, they are duds.
      Thanks for this yummy looking post Shelby,

      Lentils... yum. They always remind me of my grandma - she loved lentil soup and lentil patties! 🙂

      I've never had lentils unless they have been in a dish and I wasn't aware of it. Soups are a favorite with my husband and I. I'm going to link to this and try it this winter. Of course, I have to buy some lentils first. :>)
