Curried Chickpea and Lentil Casserole with Green Mango and Potatoes takes the delicious flavors of vegetarian Indian food and delivers them in a comforting casserole. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing in this post. I made this casserole for the teachers at Sammy and Alex’s school for conference night….
Curried Roasted Chickpeas: #TheLeftoversClub
Curried Roasted Chickpeas are easy to make and a healthier snack, satisfying the need for salty crunch. Great for parties or just a casual on the go snack. Guys!!! I am so excited!! Right now, probably while you are reading this unless you are reading it in the middle of the night EST, we are…
Chickpea and Bulgur Salad with Carrot Pistachio pesto
I’ve been sitting on this dish, waiting to share it with you until after all my early month blogging events were over. It turns out to be extra timely now, because I re-created it again tonight for a potluck party we were attending, and it was yummy once again–and pretty flexible, as the second time…
Chorba (Moroccan Soup of Chickpeas, Vermicelli and Vegetables)
When I chose my island for my kitchen, my builder thought I was crazy for picking such a large one. Clearly he is not a cook, because there is just no such thing as too much counter space in the kitchen. I am a cluttered person, and being able to always have counter free for…
Indian Inspired Hash of Midwestern Garden Veggies
When I was a kid, maybe around 9 or 10, I had fish. I don’t remember it being particularly exciting or complicated, but I spoke to my mom recently and it turns out her brother had fish growing up. So maybe she had absorbed a lot of his knowledge and knew where to start. Actually,…

In addition to their ease of preparation (as a one pot meal), healthiness, and general tastiness, they are also endlessly flexible and adaptable to the season. They can be lighter or heartier. They can be luscious with braised meat or vegetarian or even vegan (or anywhere…
Tomato & Chickpea Salad with Basil and Yogurt Dressing
Skamp had the big Snip Snip done last week. I am not sure he cares much about his missing testicles, but he is definitely not thrilled by his cone of shame (shame because we tried to go without, but that dog would not stop licking!).
Sweet and Sour Chana Saag
It always takes me a while to decompress from a vacation, and especially so from the beach. I made this dish the next day–and I loved it–but as I stare at the computer screen what I am really wishing I was doing is floating on my back in the surf, absorbing the warm sun and…
