Chickpeas are a favorite in my house, but they are not just for hummus. Chop up tangy dill pickles, fragrant fennel, and crunchy celery and you’ve got a new salad that eats like a meal.
Serve with brown rice cous cous or scoop up with flax crackers.
Ring in the New Year with healthy!
Ringing in the New Year with a bit of good luck and prosperity on the mind is a great way to kick off the New Year. In the South, that means black-eyed peas for good luck and collard greens for prosperity. Enjoy this super satisfying hummus wrapped in a blanched collard green loaded up with your favorite fillings. Before you head out on the town for New Year’s Eve be sure to place the peas in water to soak overnight so they’ll be ready to cook when you rise on New Year’s Day! Read more →
Sweet potatoes are one of my all time favorite foods. Top with toasted buckwheat groats, sauteed greens and drizzled with gourmet dark raspberry vinegar and garlic infused olive oil and I’m in heaven.
This is really easy to make and super filling and satisfying. Isn’t this a gorgeous work of art and the best because you get to eat it too!
