Recipe--Red Lentil Curry

Several months ago, Mom came home from the grocery store with a Weight Watchers magazine for me. I have been trying to eat healthier and really cut down on my sugar intake. I enjoyed perusing the 45 recipes in the magazine! This was one of the recipes we tried, and it was really good! It’s quite easy to make and is great served over rice.
