http://photobotos.com/ liked this post! Good start! I checked their blog and it’s pretty cool. Will look again after my eyes actually open. Hope to hear from all my JC fans.
Go Holly Go!
Thanks for the support!
This looks amazing. I will try it tomorrow and report back. I like the idea that it is all in one pot.
Thanks Carolyn. It is super easy and delicious!
This looks wonderful how about a vegan version
Without soy would be wonderful
Very inspiring
No need for soy. Leave out the sausage and add 1/4 c olive oil. Let me know how it turns out!
Sounds like a great recipe, especially the vegan version – I will definitely give this a try.
Hi Mom! Thanks for the great ideas on how to prepare a good lentil! I love you and your wholesome cooking even though I am sad I can’t eat it being so far away.
This looks delicious. Giving lentils a heads up. Much over looked by the general public.
I know! Lentils need our attention.
“mix all ingredients” is music to my ears. I will definitely try this.
Agreed. Mix all ingredients is my kind of cooking.
I love lentils and I love one pot meals!
Looks like a great meal to serve après ski on a snowy day.
Thanks Holly.
Thank would be today! Thanks for liking!
This recipe tastes good and looks good. Perfect combo.
Marvin, you have great taste!

Haha! I know what you mean. It feels like a zillion meals that always need preparing. Great that you enjoyed the lentil stew. I love your state!
