Bean and Lentil Recipes

Get ready to spill the beans about legumes, nature's tiny treasure troves of nutrition and taste, as we dive into the wonderful world of these protein-packed, versatile, and eco-friendly plant wonders!

Legumes, a diverse and nutritious family of plants, encompass a wide variety of beans, peas, and lentils, offering a plethora of health benefits and culinary possibilities.

Reader favorites include Bean Salad, Split Pea Soup, Ham and Bean Soup, and Chili.

My personal favorite is my mother-in-law's Red Lentil Dal Recipe.
