Curried Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew

This is such a yummy meal, lentils provide alot of protein and when combined with the whole grain rice you then have a complete protein. The chewiness of the rice, earthy sweetness of the sweet potatoes, and the mellow spiciness of the curry is truely a deliciuos combination, served with my special silver spoon from my friend Laurie and it's...perfection.
