I  saw these lentil tacos and couldn't resist making them.  For the lentil filling I reverted to the original recipe that person posted:

This is the second year in a row that I haven't made it home to see family for Thanksgiving; last year I made a lentil loaf, a sweet potato/cranberry/kale saute, and gravy, and had a friend over.  This year two of my friends were around, and we ended up with a pretty hearty meal by the time we all made and brought dishes.  (Stuffing, sweet potatoes ( Read more... )
