Lentils
 

On Phase One do we need to restrict the amount of lentils we eat? I have a fabby recipe for dal which is really filling and satisfying. I have left the book at my friend's house, so cant check, but I wanted to make it tonight. Surely lentils are starchy and thus tricky? The GI is not very high for them though.

Clovey, I think you're allowed 1/2 cup as one serving.
Can anyone confirm that?

OK......

Lentils:
1/2 cup= 1 serving
carbs=20
sugar=2
fat=0
Good Choice says Dr. A
I made a delicious lentil and cabbage stew last night. Really yummy. I will have to share the recipe later after I fget that coffee!!!!

I love lentils. Please post the recipe ....or I'll sic my dogs on ya! :rofl:

ok the recipe will go up - (running away from dogs....)

Do I have to have any "special talents" to understand how to post a recipe?? If not, I will post my Sausage Stew (with lentils and cabbage). It's one that I sort of revised to be SB friendly.

Lord, no, Sharon. Post it here if you like, and we'll move it to the appropriate spot. But post it soon, please, because I'm planning dinner. For once. :rofl:

I LOVE lentils! i make lentil soup with escarole! so yummy & quite filling! :D

SHARON! :drill: Where's the recipe, darling!
Clovey!! Where the heck is YOURS!? :)

Ruth, what'll they do, LICK Clovey to death?

Oh, pardon me, Clovey. I see you put it in the right spot. :D Thank you!! It looks yummy. Please send a case of red lentils over.

I had it for tea tonight and it was wonderful. Quite like the idea of being licked to death.........

Ruth....
Call the dogs off, I posted the lentil recipe!!! :lol:
I substituted Chicken instead of the sausage (even though I make this recipe with Healthy Choice Smoked Sausage) because I thought it would be more appropriate for SB Phase 1.

Now make the darn stuff, Ellis!!! :rofl:

Clovey, I like your lentil recipe, too! Are you still there after Ruth's puppy attack! :lol:
Bye all....
Sharon :dance:
P.S. I made this stew recipe last night, and DH and i loved it! It's a "keeper."

Geez, Sharon... where the heck did you PUT it!? :D

Sorry! :D I found it. It wasn't showing up as a new post for me.
Thanks, Sharon! It looks great!

Clovey, I'm British, but it makes me crazy when you say, "tea". :lol:
