This recipe is a great way to introduce kids to lentils. My kids loved the cheesy lentils, and they didn't even realize they were eating lentils.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I had some leftover lentils from another dish, and this was a great way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lentils turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
