This was good for DD1 (5 years old) and I since it was so simple. I used organic ingredients except for the spices. -
I love simple recipes. This was very tasty and easy to make. It was a hit with our vegetarian household. Thanks.

Super easy recipe. Hard for me to pass by a great new chickpea recipe. Only thing I regretted was making this with a 15 ounce can of chickpeas and 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes. The original proportions would have been preferable. I accidentally drained the tomatoes without reserving juice, so I added about 1/4 cup V-8 juice to reduce to gravy consistency. Also I used about 1 tablespoon olive oil to reduce fat a bit. Thanks!

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
