May is Love Your Lentils Month! PLUS a Twitter Party & Contest #LoveLentils
Have you heard about the Love Your Lentils Recipe Contest?
When I was at the Food Bloggers of Canada Conference last month, I had the chance to chat with the wonderful folks from @CdnLentils. I couldn't resist the heart shaped postcard that boasted the face of none other than one of my absolute favourite chefs! CHEF MICHAEL SMITH!!!
I am absolutely ga-ga over Chef Michael Smith! Even my 4 year old daughter knows who he is! She's been watching Chef at Home with me ever since she was a teeny tiny tot!
Lentils just so happen to be one of my family's favourite things to eat! I use lentils in soup, curries, stews, salads, pureed into a hummus-like dip, and in my baking. It's so versatile and so good for you!
Did you know that May us Love Your Lentils Month?
I took the plunge and submitted my Trinidadian Oxtail Lentil Stew recipe in hopes that I get selected to spend a day with Chef Michael Smith! If you've entered the contest, I'd love to see your amazing lentil recipes! Please share! Plus, I get to see what I'm up against! Just kidding!

Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

This is something my Dad has been making since before I came along. As a kid I loved it. As a tween and teen, I hated it (because I found out what oxtail was). Now, I really like the flavours when they come together. It's a really tasty dish.
Good Luck I have thrown a few votes your way. You deserve this one!
OMG, yum and the Chef... WOW. Anywaaaays, yes, I want to try this!
