Lentil Biscuits

  Trying to get my family to eat healthy and to try new things is much easier said then done.  I personally love fruit's and vegetable's like eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumber's ect...I love chic pea's and lentils, radish, fennel.  Pretty safe to say there is not much that  I wont eat.  Its too bad the same can't be said for the rest of my family...well maybe the dog......

My family is totally in love with my Lentil Biscuits...yes I said lentils...they have no idea they are even in there.
