I was shocked to realize that I had not yet copied this recipe over here from my personal blog, A Simple Walk. This is one of my very favorite recipes. I make it monthly and have a few bags in the freezer at all times. I love it because it is so versatile, so frugal, … Read more
I have a confession to make – I like Taco Bell. We eat it very rarely, maybe once every 3 months or so, but I always look forward to it. And it’s kind of funny. I don’t know why I look forward to it. Every time we get it I’m disappointed. It just never tastes … Read more

It is hard to describe just how good these are. They’re salty, a little crunchy, a little spicy…basically all things delicious. The chickpeas work great as a snack, an appetizer in place of nuts, or on top of a salad.

So, after each Christmas and Easter, we all get excited because we know what’s coming! Fortunately, this recipe makes a huge batch and provides enough soup to freeze at … Read more
These burritos make a wonderfully frugal, meat-free, delicious meal. The texture of the lentil and rice combination is surprising similar to ground meat too.
My original menu plan for this week called for black bean & rice stuffed wet burritos. But I just didn’t feel up to making tortillas today because I had so much after the weekend catch-up to tackle. So I decided to improvise and turn the filling into rice bowls instead. It turned out deliciously! I … Read more
