Red Lentil Curry

Earlier this week, my friend Heather posted a picture of a dinner she made using a recipe from Real Simple.  It looked delicious and simple, so I copied her and made the same Red Lentil Curry today.  I'm so excited that Heather will be visiting the East Coast in less than a week!  It has been two years since I have seen her and I can't wait for her to meet Wren!
