Easy Lentil Stew
*small measurements are guesses, i don't actually measure when i am doing this*

i bag dry lentils
1 & 12 onion
10 of those itty bitty carrots
5 medium red potatoes (or a proportionate number of small ones)
1 big can stewed tomatoes
2 sticks celery
4 strips bacon
water
2 Tbsps thyme
1 tsp salt (the bacon provides enough salt)
1 Tbsp pepper

chop up the veggies (make sure potatos are bit-size)and throw everything in a crock pot with just enough water to cover. cook until the potatos are soft.
this is esp. good with fresh bread.

The line until the recipe title there is perfect. Describes most of the way I cook.

me too. there are things i "know" how to cook and i make them with no recipe and what goes in some of the dishes doesn't change.
other things seem to scream for change and it is simply a matter of thinking what you are in the mood for and what you have in the house and what might be interesting with the other flavors you are sure of...

Exactly.
