"I would say yes -- you can serve with Paula Deen's "English Peas." Then you'd have a vegetable and meat and you just need a carb and fruit for a balanced meal, perhaps serve inside manicotti shells with some mayonnaise and melon balls. And also a beverage, why don't we have pink lemonade today.

"I had a bag of dried lentils so I threw them in a pot of water and stuck it in the oven @ 375 for four hours. When they looked plump-ish, I drained and sauteed over the stove. No butter so I sprayed them with a solid coating of Pam. Still looked a little non-buttery so I made a glaze of powdered sugar, half & half, and some cumin for a little added spice. Rolled them in oats and put in a nice fishbowl on the table for guests. Did anyone else do this???? Tasted okay, may or may not use recipe again.
