1. There are many varieties of lentil (French, green, brown... I'm sure there's more than that, too) and many ways of cooking them, so it takes a while to get bored of them.
2. Fresh beans (green beans, wax beans, snap peas, mung beans, chickpeas, broad beans, runner beans, butter beans, lima beans, etc) and frozen beans are your friends.
3. Barley. Barley is a wonderful thing. Especially if you like making bread and have a good source of barley flour (mm, East End Food Co-op).
4. Have you tried making polenta yet? It can be a little finicky, but well worth it. It's very tasty when cooked with low-salt broth and red bell peppers.
