I found this lentil recipe in one of my back issues of Everyday Food magazine. It is really easy and really good! The recipe was supposed to use canned lentils (it was a feature on fast meals), but I only had the dry so I had to add a step to cook those first. Also, I added in a diced sweet potato, which the recipe did not have. It was easy: saute a diced onion and 2 inch piece of ginger (grated) in some oil. Add 2 tsp of curry powder and 1 tsp garam masala, sautee 1 minute. Add two cans of lentils and a 26 oz jar of good quality marinara. Simmer 10 minutes (or until thickened), then stir in the juice of 1 lime and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (or parsley). Serve over rice. I really really liked this dish! I think it will become a staple in our house.
A few other dishes I've made recently (I've been slacking on posting!), one is a bolognese sauce where I just simply subbed in Boca Cumbles. The kids really liked this one, it came out pretty good.
A tofu scramble I made for lunch one day with mushrooms, peppers, and onions. I had some black beans, salsa, and corn tortillas.

those lentils look fantastic. I'm going to have to try them out, they sound like something my kids would really like too.
Tofu scrambles rock!!!
I really have to try tofu scramble one of these days, I don't know why I haven't. At least I finally tried the tofu ice cream!
What kind of tofu did you use? I swear I'm the only vegetarian in the world that can't pull off tofu! I'm gonna give this a try. It looks yummy!
