This amazing recipe comes from Mama Pea and you can see her original recipe here. I tweaked it to my personal likes and was very happy with the results. Please note that hubby Tom had to have two servings to fill him up. One was plenty for me with some romaine lettuce and salsa on the…

Chickpea Curry
This Indian inspired dish isn’t too spicy – it’s just the right balance of spices. We served it over a hot baked sweet potato but it would be equally delicious over a bed of your favorite grain like brown rice, quinoa or couscous. If you prefer to skip the extra carbs you could choose to…
Chili Burgers
These patties are dense and hold together perfectly. They reheat in the microwave so go ahead and make a full batch or a double batch on the weekend to enjoy all throughout the next week. You can freeze them too. Top with my Easy Red Salsa, shredded lettuce and Donna’s Vegan Cheeze Sauce or serve…

Chana Masala

Garbanzo beans are cooked with fresh onions, tomatoes, garlic and seasoned with a delicious array of aromatic Indian spices. This is my new favorite comfort food! Chana Masala 1 cup fresh…
