Frequent consumption of sugary, fatty, or salty foods both hooks and dulls our taste buds.  When I'm not traveling, I like to plan my meals at home to ensure my family eats wholesome food that nourishes our bodies and to keep our taste buds trained to appreciate REAL foods.  Let's train your taste buds with a great lentil dish!

The lentil is Middle Eastern in origin and was one of the earliest cultivated crops.  It is at least 10,000 years old, and in many countries, like India (a country I can't wait to visit), it has long been an indispensable part of the diet.  Lentils are nutritionally rich, full of protein, vitamin B, iron, and phosphorus.  Have you ever eaten lentils? What did you think?
