Our freezer always seems to be full of small individual sized plastic containers filled with single servings. These will make for a quick lunch or light dinner any time that’s simple, wholesome and delicious.

Ham and lentils are such a terrific combination. It's best made with a ham bone and not just chunks of ham, don't you think?
