I am so excited to share this recipe for Samosa Wraps! It’s one of those hybrid recipes where I took two recipes that were similar and took elements from both of them that appealed to me to create an easy but tasty entree. A whole wheat wrap is stuffed with Yukon gold potatoes, sweet potatoes,…

Curry Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash
I was inspired by a stuffed acorn squash recipe in the Happy Herbivore Abroad cookbook. I doubled the spices, added garbanzo beans, onions and dried cranberries. These changes gave it a protein and fiber boost and took it from a simple side dish to a delightful entree. We like it so much that I’ve made…
Green Chili Hummus
I found the original recipe for Green Chili Hummus here on Food.com and tweaked it to my own taste. The idea of a Mexican/Southwest hummus was so intriguing and you know what? It works – this is amazing with tortilla chips, on pita bread, whole grain crackers or as a topping on a taco salad. Use it…
Greek Chickpea Salad
On the really hot summer days I don’t want to heat up my kitchen to make a meal so I turn to salads that are hearty enough to be a meal. This chickpea salad not only keeps the kitchen cool but it will cool you down as well. It was good the first day and even better…

Moroccan Chickpea Chili
This is more of a soup than a chili but whatever you choose to call it really doesn’t matter because what’s most important is that it tastes good! The fact that you get a large portion and it’s relatively low calorie but super filling is why I have made this twice in the past week….
Black Bean Dip & Green Chili Hummus
If you enjoy healthy Mexican – Southwest cuisine I have two recipes you will want to make. What a bonus that they are easy – using ordinary pantry ingredients and are pretty low calorie so you can easily fit them into your food plan. Beans which are the basis for both recipes are so healthy, filling and taste…
Chana Masala
I actually doubled this recipe for Chana Masala when I made it so we would have some leftovers and I am so glad I did. 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…
