RICE & LENTILS

Check out vegweb.com for great vegetarian recipes and inspiration.

My husband found a rice and lentils dish on there the other day...basically you take the recipe and add what you want - this is how my husband made it and it was yum yum! The great thing about rice and lentils is that they cook at about the same rate - a nice pair.
