A question for runners – are you extremely hungry the day after a long run? I ran longer last night than I have in quite a few months – 8 miles. Today? Give me all your snacks! I started dreaming about lunch {even earlier} than usual, and I just downed half a package of Trader Joe’s water crackers with edamame hummus in preparation for dinner. Worth it.
Tonight, I am roasting chickpeas for another warm salad recipe that I’ll share soon if it turns out. Chickpeas are incredibly healthy legumes, as they are high in dietary fiber. I enjoy cooking vegetarian meals most nights, and chickpeas are the perfect thing to make dinner a bit heartier. For that reason, I have been pinning chickpea recipes like crazy for months, but usually end up making a similar salad recipe.
For motivation, I’m sharing 6 new chickpea recipes from a few favorite food blogs that are next on my list to try. Click on the link above each photo for the recipe source.

I discovered roasted chick peas on Pinterest last year…tried them…LOVED THEM! And so did my 8 year old daughter 🙂 who knew they were so healthy??!
I discovered them on Pinterest too! Genius idea.
