This nutritous vegan dish is one of my favorites! It’s just the way I like them – quick, simple and delicious. It can be prepared in just 15 minutes with only 15-20 cooking time. You can also easily adapt it to a chicken dish by replacing the tofu with chicken, which is equally yummy.

Here’s a tasty snack that is a fun way to get more legumes into your diet. Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo Beans, are loaded with vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber.
