Notes: This is one of our household favorites. Louise started eating it at 9 months, and it's one of our go-to dinners. In fact, we always keep toddler size portions frozen in ice cube trays in the freezer for a quick and healthy dinner. It's really good for you, very inexpensive and universally appealing. We can't recommend this dish highly enough!
It's inspired by the recipe on the back of the Arrowhead Mills brown lentils package.
