It’s been awhile since I’ve shared a recipe with you guys lately. I’ve kinda been out of my cooking groove lately – there has been a lot of very simple pastas made around here. Well, and some of the new recipes I’ve tried aren’t worth sharing. . . and sometimes I just forget to take pictures because we eat everything so quickly. All that being said, here’s a recipe that I tried a long while ago and have been meaning to share. And it’s vegetarian!
This was another recipe suggested to me in the SewMamaSew Giveaway. I was pretty excited to see such an easily accessible vegetarian recipe. A lot of times I get daunted by the sheer amount of ingredients needed to try and emulate meat. I just can’t get on board with that. This is really just a basic meatloaf recipe that substitutes lentils for ground meat. I wasn’t sure that it was going to work, but lentils are cheap, so I thought I’d give it a shot.
The whole time I was making this recipe, Jason was expressing his doubt as he usually does when I make something vegetarian. What is it with men and their meat? I served up the ‘meat’ loaf and Jason quickly stopped anything resembling complaining and quickly demolished his serving. It was good.
Can I say ‘I told you so?’

I’ve been out of my cooking groove lately too…way to try something different!
ok, ok, it was delicious. but i still have a problem with calling it meat loaf!
Mmmmmm. Looks delicious. I recently tried a ‘Slopppy Lentils’ recipe and they were so good that I’ve already made it a couple of times. The recipes still uses one pound of ground meat, but it would be great with just the lentils – I never knew how versatile they were! And super cheap!
