Meatless March Meal #14: Most amazing lentils ever!

This is probably one of my most favorite vegetarian meals ever! Seriously, it is really good and really good for you.

I would give this a 10 out of 10 and make it any day. Keep in mind that this recipe makes a lot, so be prepared for some yummy leftovers.

Crock Pot:
2 c dry lentils {about the size of a small bag}
1 medium carrot, coined
1 medium onion, chopped

1 chicken bouillon cube
2 T parsley
1 bay leaf
1 T salt
1/2 t thyme
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes

Salad:
Tortilla chips {we like corn tortilla chips}

1. Combine all ingredients in Crock Pot, and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
