(image credit) We are big fans of basil. This curry included both dried basil and fresh basil, and a bit of lime. Was good. Not knock-your-socks-off, but tasty, and easy.

The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe {Ever} and Aquafaba Swiss Buttercream and Raspberry filling
(image credit) Chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream icing, raspberry jam filling. It was our 20th wedding anniversary this week. My husband John and I loved our wedding cake, oh so long ago. In fact, for the first few years after we got married, on our anniversary I bought a mini cake from the baker with theContinue reading “The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe {Ever} and Aquafaba Swiss Buttercream and Raspberry filling”
Quick Pasta and Chickpeas / Pasta e Ceci
(image credit) Is the magic of this recipe the olive oil? The rosemary? I’m not sure, but magic it has. Warm and satisfying and also delicious as leftovers. I used the shells in a box of Amy’s Mac and Cheese, worked great. I used dried rosemary instead of fresh. Delish, will make again.
5-Minute Spicy Chickpea Salad

The Best Healthy Crunchy Chickpea Cookies (Gluten-Free)
(image credit) I’m not sure if the title of this recipe is accurate, but I plan on making a bunch of chickpea cookies this month to test it out 🙂 These were a strong start! Very coconut-y. Quite crispy. Overall a strong entry. That said, not the end-all-be-all of cookies, so looking forward to futureContinue reading “The Best Healthy Crunchy Chickpea Cookies (Gluten-Free)”
Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie
(image credit) We started off Chickpea Month with a use of chickpeas that many might not know about. That liquid inside a can of chickpeas? It is called aquafaba and can be used as an egg replacement. It was my brother’s birthday and he is more of a pie guy than a cake guy, soContinue reading “Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie”
February: Chickpeas!

Because of this, when lightly contemplating the idea of Focusing On A Single Bean For A Whole Month, it felt smart to assign chickpeas to the shortest month, February. I’d forgotten how versatile chickpeas are though.Continue reading “February: Chickpeas!”
Black-eyed Pea recipe round-up
Believe it or not my family didn’t get tired of eating black eyed peas. I’d found really diverse recipes, I think that helped. Also they were just plain tasty! (And my family is good sports 🙂 ) We ate black eyed-peas all January. 31 days, 35 recipes. Ok 32 days because I started on DecContinue reading “Black-eyed Pea recipe round-up”
Jamaican Black-eyed Pea Curry
(image credit) I almost forgot! This one was a surprise hit! A lot like the other curries we’d had this month, but the lime + coconut milk gave it a different thing going on, very good, and made great leftovers. I made the Jamaican curry powder from scratch using the recipe on the webpage. IContinue reading “Jamaican Black-eyed Pea Curry”
Black Eyed Pea Pecan Pie
(image credit the author, CC0) Yup, this black-eyed pie recipe knows what it is doing. The pecans on top get a little sugar caramelization going on, the pie filling has a good solid texture, and whipping cream on top is perfect. We made it with this coconut pie crust which was a nice complement (usedContinue reading “Black Eyed Pea Pecan Pie”
