I’ve decided to try something new on the blog this week and if I and you are digging it will (try) to keep up with it. 

This week we are on vacation but luckily this doesn’t mean we have been eating out all week because we are staying at a condo in North Myrtle Beach with my parents.  This has made our lives so much easier and I love having a place to cook all or at least most of our meals.

Beverage: Decaf Coffee

Lunch Part 1: Salad with cranberries, almonds and apple

Lunch Part 2: Veggie and Polenta Lasagna

Snack: a million Salt and Pepper Pistachios

Beverage: Ginger Lemon Peel Herbal Water

Dinner: Guacamole, Tomato Bruschetta, Pesto Spinach-Artichoke Dip, Baked Garlic Fries and crackers, bread and tortillas.

Not Pictured: 2 oreos, 8 sour patch kids and a decaf vanilla black tea and lots of glasses of water.

Recipe Of The Week: Chickpea & Spinach Scramble

7 Comments

The Hubz and I have been trying to avoid soy lately so I decided to make a twist on a breakfast favorite.  Instead of tofu scramble this morning I made Chickpea scramble.  This was so good and I think I like it better than tofu scramble now (plus no belly aches after).

Chickpea & Spinach Scramble
Serves 2

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3-4 button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 chili, minced
  • 1 cup chickpeas, cooked or canned
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

In a large saute pan heat the oil over medium-high; toss in the onion and mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.  Stir in the garlic and chili and cook for one more minute. Add the chickpeas and mash them with a fork or potato masher until they are slightly broken up; stir to combine.  Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted then stir in the paprika, salt and pepper.  Serve in a sprouted grain tortilla, with a slice of your favorite bread or eat as is!
