Dear Friends,
I can remember learning about the glories of beans in grammar school. I pressed a handful of brightly colored varieties into the dirt and was astounded by the green shoots that sprang forth! My love of beans, with their delicious flavors and hearty nutrition, lives on in these lentils. I hope you will be inspired to cook a hearty portion of these legumes for you and yours.
To your good health, Bob Moore

Hearty Butternut Squash & Lentil Chili
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Chili gets a seasonal twist in this hearty lentil chili. Instead of the usual beans, tender lentils take the spotlight, making this dish as unique as it is satisfying. Roasted butternut squash, arguably autumn’s favorite veggie, adds sweetness and depth, while herbs and spices bring cozy warmth to every bite. Vegan, gluten-free and brimming with flavor, it’s a fall recipe that stands out from the rest. Make it with canned lentils if you want to savor it faster!

- 2 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil

- 1 tsp. oregano
