One of the easiest things I make for lunch all the time is a chickpea salad sandwich. It’s so easy to prepare, very versatile, so good, satisfying, and nutritious!!⁣
⁣
There are so many ways to enjoy chickpea salad. Here we have a classic sandwich with romaine lettuce and micro greens between slices of @daveskillerbread 🧡

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆, 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹? Well, here’s one of my favorite go-tos! And, it’s a collaboration with my mom, so that makes it extra special to me! I share more on that below. ⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘃𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀. It’s just a bowl of fresh veggies (mini tri-color peppers), kale, black beans (straight outta the can), some raw corn, a mildly spicy green pepper, salsa, finely cut mango, and a lot (I mean a lot) of fresh squeezed lime juice. ⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱! Oil free, sugar free, and mostly salt free. There’s some salt in the salsa, but that is it. ⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘄𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼? ⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗶𝗽: For me, a fine dice is key. This way you get all the flavors in each bite, making for a truly delightful eating experience! :) ⁣

⁣
Also, the salsa is from @gardenfreshgourmet and it’s the best salsa! ⁣
⁣
Ok, and here’s where my mom comes in. She’s an artist and made all these beautiful ceramic pieces including plates, bowls, mugs, and big serving dishes. I love that I have them because I love her so much and it’s just so special to get to feature them in my food photography! Now that’s how we serve up double the love! Yay Mom!!🧡⁣

𝘽𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝗩𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗡 𝗡𝗨𝗚

𝘽𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝗩𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗡 𝗡𝗨𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝙀-𝙑-𝙀-𝙍!! & so easy! Baked or fried, make using gluten free or traditional flours, your choice. I baked these for an oil-free version. ⁣
⁣
The OG author of this recipe and technique to getting the texture just right is @marystestkitchen
⁣
The secret is using medium firm tofu and freezing it twice - freeze and thaw, freeze and thaw. This creates pockets in the tofu, gives you the ability to squeeze out lots more liquid from the tofu which makes it possible for the tofu to soak up more flavor, and transforms the tofu into a meaty nugget-like texture. If you’re someone who doesn’t like tofu, you must try this method. It’s a game changer!!⁣
⁣
If you are looking to WOW your not yet vegan friends and family, make this for them! ⁣
⁣
>> Recipe from Mary’s Test Kitchen can be found on her blog here http://www.marystestkitchen.com/best-vegan-fried-chicken-gluten-free/ or you can just google Mary’s vegan nuggets and should come right up. Mary, we are forever grateful!!⁣

Tis the season for hot cocoa. It’s one of the easiest treats to make - so cozy and delicious!!⁣
⁣
Here’s the basic recipe. Of course, you can adjust the amounts of sugar and cocoa to your taste. ⁣
* 2 Tablespoons cocoa⁣
* 1 Tablespoon sugar ⁣
* 1 cup plant-based milk⁣
* pinch of salt, optional⁣
⁣
You can use any kind of sweetener you like. I’m a fan of coconut sugar or maple syrup. If using a liquid sweetener, reduce the milk by the amount used. ⁣
⁣
Ideas for Toppings: ⁣
Marshmallows 🧡 @mydandies⁣
Vegan whipped cream⁣
Shaved chocolate⁣
⁣
Heating up on the stove is my favorite way to prepare it. I whisk the ingredients until fully combined (no cocoa clumps) and then take it to a rolling boil for a few minutes - watching and stirring every few seconds to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. The boiling helps it thicken a little for a richer consistency. Be sure to let it cool down a bit before drinking. ⁣
⁣
Are you a chocolate fan? 🧡 🍫 ⁣
Are you indulging in hot cocoa on the regular too?
