I was inspired to make Red Lentil Dip with a Spanish Flair coz I had some merry little red lentils languishing in my cupboard, and they were calling to me. Seriously, it was late, and I was almost ready for bed. I was like “Shush!” But they wouldn’t stop.

I gotta tell ya, I never thought about eating Bacon Wrapped Dates. Recipes, I’ve seen, but back me up here, folks, doesn’t it sound kind of weird?
