This lentil medley is bland and boring. It needs more flavor.

This recipe is missing some basic instructions. For example, it doesn't say how much water to use.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lentil medley turned out mushy. I think I overcooked the lentils.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

This lentil medley is a great make-ahead meal. I made a big batch on Sunday and ate it for lunch all week.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but this dish changed my mind. The lentils are cooked perfectly and the flavors are amazing.

This lentil medley is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots, celery, and onions to mine and it turned out great.

I made this lentil medley for my family last night and they loved it! Even my picky eater son ate two bowls.
