Simple Living

I am exploring simple recipes over the past two weeks. I need to have more ideas on cooking with chickpeas. I am going to try Falafel. I like to eat hot foods or I feel like I didn't eat much.

I found this I will try tonight. I am on a quest to eat healthier. Aren't we all? I need to mix it up and try new things.

"Super quick and easy - you will probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already! Serve with your favorite sauce! I served mine with spicy mayo, made by mixing 3 tablespoons mayo with 1/2 tablespoon sriracha. It would also be great with tzatziki or spicy mustard." Rate/Review
