Here’s another recipe from Cooking Light magazine, which I adapted to make even healthier. The original recipe used pork but I made it vegetarian by using chickpeas instead. I also swapped out the regular dairy milk and used light coconut milk, and swapped the white flour to millet flour, although it would probably be just fine without any flour at all. I added garam masala and increased the amount of curry powder because the original was bland. I think the result is a really nice vegan meal. Having pre-cooked rice and chickpeas on hand makes it a super-fast weeknight meal. Continue reading “Curried Chickpeas with Rice”

Gluten Free Quesadilla (10-Minute Lunch)
This gluten-free quesadilla is made with corn tortillas that contain no flour. If you aren’t gluten-sensitive, feel free to buy the corn tortillas that have flour in them if you like them better. The GF tortillas I buy from Trader Joe’s have only corn and lime, and as such they are somewhat prone to fall apart with too much handling.
Cutting this into four wedges makes it easier to eat without falling apart.
The photo shows the quesadillas on a paper plate served with a small side of leftover roasted potatoes.
