Approximately 27 percent of students (a staggering 50,869 kids) enrolled
in Oakland County Schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunches,
according to Lori Adkins, nutrition consultant for Oakland County
Schools. But what about the summer months, when low-income families
can no longer rely on free school lunches to help feed their kids?
That’s when Lighthouse of Oakland County—a charity that helps provide
food for 500 to 600 families a month—steps in. Sadly, at the start of
this summer, their cupboards were bare of peanut butter, an important
protein source.

My husband had never tasted lentils before we were married. Perhaps this blessed food was not part of his English/German heritage. It was during a time in New York City when dollars were hard to come by that I first spent around 23 cents to buy a pound of lentils for dinner.
