Lentils in June

Sometimes...the best recipes are on the package!  On my package of lentils, there was a recipe to  add flavor by adding in, along with the seasoning packet:

1/4 pound fried ham cubes (I got deli ham sliced thick and fried it in olive oil about 3  minutes)
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 can diced tomatoes with juice

I also added S&P, lemon pepper, lemon juice and butter, at the end...

And of course, we had cornbread with it! And even though it's summer and hot outside, this was great for a scratchy throat...
