Need recipes for lentils or red beans! Help!


Quote  |  Reply
Hi everyone! I've been trying to add lentils and red beans to my diet because they are a great balance of carb and protien, with LOTS of dietary fiber. So if any one knows of good recipes (as in low-calorie and healthy!) with these items (or can tell me basically what on earth I do with them!), I'd appreciate if you'd post here!

Thanks!!
