SO HOW'D IT GO?
This recipe rocked! The only thing that I changed was the seasoning. I'm preggers, and the kid was really making me crave chili. :) I added a lot of chili powder and cumin, but followed the method exactly. It was awesome to not have to worry about dinner all day. I'm sure the French style lentils would be great, too. May try it that way next. Thanks!
