Another day – another recipe with asparagus, this is pretty much our life right now. And it’s a goooood life.
We never understood the hype around asparagus, but this year we're starting to have a little crush on this plant. It’s crunchy, green, satisfying and surprises you when you go to pee. What more can a girl ask for in a vegetable?
Asparagus and chickpeas are like best friends in this notable 15-minute stir fry. We don’t even know if we can call it fry because it’s quite healthy.
This is a tasty healthy dinner /lunch that is also fast and simple. It again proves that the healthiest and most satisfying recipes don’t need hours of preparation.
If you have leftover vegetables that you need to use today – this is your chance! Take it! For us on Sunday we had some peppers and some broccoli screaming our name for about a week from the fridge, so finally, we said – well, what harm are they going to do?
We'll tell you.
No harm, no harm at all. These little angels in disguise, that we cold-heartedly chopped into a million pieces for this recipe, do only good. Even though…if you google broccoli, you might even find some dirt on this little guy. And he’s been working his butt off to save us from diseases.
You see, you can never please everyone.
But you can try with this notable recipe for chickpeas with roasted vegetables.
