Lentils

I sat down with my morning coffee and computer to talk about Lentils...  and then i got sidetracked by the TV and all the Super Bowl hype...  I kind of want to make the time to watch the Winton Marsalis show at noon.  Highly unlikely I will be home in front of a tv at that time.  and of course because the tv was on I get sidetracked into looking at on-line electronic tax filings...  I am a paper and pen girl but think I should upgrade in my technology... 
oh gosh now Sam, Josh and Emeril are on and talking about food --- can't wait for NOLA and some coffee and beignets... mmmm...
OK - let's get back to talking about the boring legume known as lentils...
Have we spoken about them before?  I know I have done research on them in the past.  Research?  you say... Yes, I have been on a quest to figure out protein, fiber and carbs levels in lots of out of the oridnary foods and this is one of them.
I like them because they go from a dried state to soft with much less prep time than the other dried beans in the grocery store.  Also, because of their size they seem to capture the flavorings a whole lot better.
And then add the nutritional facts...
19 carbs - OK a bit high maybe for my doctor suggested below 100g of carbs a day approach
9 fiber - that's cool
8 protein - even better...
So there is a whole pot that has been soaking overnight for this week's menu... I will probably freeze some as I doubt I can or should eat all 14 servings that are in one bag.
Now what to mix with them... 
The Whole Living web-site has two recipes noted this week.  One is a salad.  The other is a stew.
I am leaning towards the salad variety.  PLUS, I am craving zucchini and squash, so I think I will add those into the mix.
Breakfast this week is a variety of a blueberry mint smoothie
Dinner will be some version of a roasted vegetable - I am thinking brussel sprouts, beets and onion...  I know my digestive track will haunt me with those beets.
Now to figure out what to do about the Super Bowl... not really sure I want to watch any of it.
