By
These are soooo tasty, my 2 year old had 4 bowls of the lentils (he can't quite eat a taco yet), I can't wait to make them again! Yum!!!

-1 medium finely chopped onion
-1 garlic clove, minced
-1 teaspoon olive oil
-1 cup dried lentils, rinsed
-1 tablespoon chili powder
-2 teaspoons ground cumin
-1 teaspoon dried oregano
-2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
-1 cup salsa
-12 taco shells (check ingredients)
-shredded lettuce
-diced tomato
-avocado 
-any other taco toppings you want

In a large nonstick skillet, saute the onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the lentils, chili powder, cumin and oregano, cook and stir for 1 minute. Add broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Uncover, cook for 6-8 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Mash lentils slightly and remove from heat.

Stir in salsa. Spoon about 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco shell. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado and whatever else you think would be good!

This is a healthified version of an old family recipe. My kids LOVE these pancakes and ask for them often.You may need to double the recipe if you have a family larger than 4. -1-2 tablespoons coconut oil -1 cup rice or almond milk (unsweetened) -1 cup whole wheat flour -5 organic eggs -pinch of salt Preheat oven to 425, put the coconut oil in a 9x13 pan and place it in the oven as it's preheating. Add the remaining ingredients to your blender and blend (I used the "batters" button on my blendtec). When the oven has preheated take out the hot pan of melted coconut oil and pour the batter in. Carefully place it back into the oven for 15 min. Serve with pure maple or your favorite healthy pancake topping.
