Pink lentils

[Guest guest]

>> Where do you buy pink lentils? I can only find the grayish green ones.

Antoinette,

I find the Camellia Brand brownish-greyish-greenish <grin> ones in my

regular grocery store. For the red ones, which are the same lentil, only

hulled, I had to go to a fancy foods store (Fresh Market or Whole Foods).

HEAVENS! You've been SCD less than a year -- don't give up!

I didn't tolerate white beans early on (this was before " stages " had been

invented), but six months later, I was fine with them -- probably around a

year.

I can't say how long it took me to tolerate lentils because it never

occurred to me to try the darn things until after Hurricane Katrina! That

was just about the time I hit Year Four.

No problems! In fact, lentils have snuck into all sorts of things in last

18 months because they're so easy to fix and my husband, who hates beans,

likes lentils! (Go figure!)

But I make " red beans " ( " red lentils " ) and sausage.

I'm planning on shrimp creole, and using lentils in lieu of rice to serve

it on.

I use lentils in chili.

I've even done a mock potato salad with them.

My husband was muttering that the next thing he knew I'd be trying to make

pancakes with them, and I pointed out that I'd already done tortillas with

white beans, so, why not? (He said he'd rather have apple-pecan

pancakes....)
