Today I decided I have to work on getting my family to eat more lentils - they are an amazingly frugal source of protein! My oldest son requested rice, so I figured it was a classic combination.
However, my family members don't really like rice and lentils together, so I had to get creative.
Here's what I came up with:
Choice of:
Brown Rice
Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Sauteed vegetables with red lentils in tomato sauce
Fresh fruit
I started this site because so many of the frugal food sites I love are just jam-packed with recipes that are decidedly un-kosher. And lots of other frugal living sites are extremely religious, and not in a Jewish way. And that just wasn’t working for me. I hope that I can share some ways to be frugal AND kosher. And share some of my thoughts about our life since making Aliyah. Oh, and if you share my recipes, menus, musings, etc, please link back to this blog. Thank you.
If the kids don't like lentils, why not blend the whole thing? You can't seem them and the flavors will all blend.
