Indian Spiced Chickpeas

Lately, I’ve been falling in love with Indian flavors—ginger especially, and curry, which both go so nicely with my long-time favorites, garlic and cayenne pepper. When I found this recipe for spicy baked chickpeas and serendipitously had all the ingredients in my pantry, I had to try it. I love the texture of baked chickpeas—crunchy [...]

Chickpea Salad

Chickpea salad has become a mainstay in my fridge over the past few weeks. It’s super easy to throw together, and makes a fresh, protein-packed side dish. I love this no-cook recipe because it calls for vibrant vegetables that are easy to come by any time of the year. Mix them all together and you’re [...]
