Rice and Lentil Crockpot -- super easy super yummy crockpot

I remember -- not really -- that blurred unreal reality after my baby was born. I think I must have filled the freezer, so Colin fed us from that. Anyway, some friends of our just had a baby. Maple Pecan baby cakes and this lentil, rice, and veggie dish found their way to their door. Their verdict? Yummmmmmmmmm ........


The almond butter and coconut butter are not necessary, but I wanted to add a richness both in taste and body to the concoction. Apparently the dish went over very well. They were able to make 3 meals out of it, and found it almost unexpectedly delicious each time.
