More lentils.  You can mash these up and serve them over corn chips and salsa with cheese on top for a simple Nachos.  Add them to mince to bulk it up.  Add to a salad.  Mash them up, add some cheese and herbs and serve them over a baked potato.

Add them to a soup, to tortillas and toast away, to a tuna salad with pasta.  Endless possibilities, if you like the things ;D

If you store dried lentils, you will need to store extra water to soak them in overnight, and for rinsing.  The canned ones don't need soaking, and you can probably get away with not rinsing them as well.

I can see the advantage of this challenge - added protein to your food storage diet, but I really dislike lentils.   I'm going to replace this with canned ham, or filled ravioli or the like. 

That's the beauty of this challenge.  You can adapt it to suit your own family, yet get some ideas on what to store as you go along.
