Isn't Hillbilly Housewife great for those "tight budget" weeks? :) We really like making taco style lentils, too. We just had those last week!

Yes, I've fallen in love with the Hillbilly Housewife site! I also love her Dirty Rice recipe.
Oh, I lived in GA for 5 years and I miss Harris Teeter!! I heard they started tripling coupons... so jealous... we had the lentil tacos this week too. I cannot get enough of them!
