Lentils
Definitely going backwards through the pictures. I started with lentils in my bean/legume quest. They are tiny. I suspected as I got back on this dried bean band-wagon I should start with something easy. So lentils it was. PLUS - when in doubt you can pretty much soak/cook to death and they still taste yummy. So I made lentils. Around the same time my friend, Tara, posted a recipe for meatballs. Can't say that I have ever made meatballs. Well I can buy the frozen variety and throw them in the corckpot with jelly and chili sauce but to actually ball them up from raw meat? Can't say I have ever done that. But now meatloaf, I can do. And so I did. It made for a good few days of foods. Almost healthy if that old persons harris teeter (as I like to call it) hadn't gone and had meatloaf mix in the butcher area. Oh well, low fat turkey breast probably wouldnt have been as tasty.

yum! it's funny 'cause even though i always make meatballs, i never make meatloaf! i've thought about making one using the meatball ingredients. do you think that would work? what else do you put in yours?
i like lentils, too, 'cause you don't have to soak them before using. i made a delicious soup with bacon, onions, lentils, carrots, and chicken broth. might have to post that baby...my co-hort elizabeth posted a lovely looking soup with lentils too...
i got some of those tiny puy lentils to try...is that what these are?
i usually try to add a variety of veggies - spinach, mushrooms, onions, garlic... i think this one also had sun-dried tomatoes
egg, cheesse, bread crumbs
it was really tasty - i ate more than my fair share per serving...
have no idea what type of lentils these were
i thought elizabeth's lentils were blueberries at first glance
