Esau's Birth Right - Lentils with Rice

Its hard to believe its March already! I ended up ignoring my blog a bit last month since we were just so busy!

The 3 of us & the cat moved to a new city on March 1st. It's really amazing how much effort it can take to pack up a place and move to a different city in a month. We ended up doing all of the packing and moving in less than 2 weeks due to illness and the fact that we only just found an apartment at the last minute.

At any rate, we're here, the boxes aren't all unpacked but we're enjoying settling in and I can go back to cooking since my pots and pans are unpacked now! Yay!

This is a fairly inexpensive, quick and easy recipe that we came up with last night. Officially known as "Esau's Birth Right" it apparently has some biblical relevance but I'm not exactly sure what. Either way it tastes good and it's pretty cheap and I think nutritious. You might try adding some spices - maybe some cumin would be good if you think it's too plain. We were too hungry and tired last night to try. :)
