Fridge clearing lentil soup: http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-fridge-clearing-lentil-soup-weeknight-recipes-from-the-kitchn-71256#recipe

I eat them in winter with bratwurst as the flavoring.

I don't know. I'm and adult and think they are gross. Had them all the time growing up. Whatever you can do to drown the strong flavor.

We eat lentils all the time. Mostly in soups or Dahl.

Ina Garten's sausage + lentil soup.

I have a recipe I love that is basically sautéed onion and carrots and garlic tossed with cooked green lentils with thyme and a vinaigrette. You can eat it warm or cold.

DH loves it--serve with cheese and baguette and a big glass of white wine!

I bought a bag of green lentils, and now I need a recipe. I know my kids' first reaction will be "Yuck! I'm not eating that!" so I'm looking for the most kid-friendly recipe as a gateway into the world of lentils. Maybe something with lots of bacon? Or coconut milk? I'm not too worried about finding the healthiest lentil recipe out there ... I just want to cross the bridge of thinking that lentils are potentially good. I personally love them but have not had success convincing the rest of the household.
(FWIW, two of the kids really like beans, and one hates everything like that.)
