Fig & Walnut Arugula Salad with Chickpeas & Gorgonzola
The ingredients in this Fig & Walnut Arugula Salad with Chickpeas & Gorgonzola play so nicely together. Heaven on a plate! While I haven’t always loved arugula, I’m a fan now! It’s quickly becoming my go-to green! First off, it’s eats well. Do you know what I mean? You can stick your fork into an arugula salad and more often than not, you’ll have yourself a pretty perfect bite! You can’t say that about every salad.

Chopped Mediterranean Salad with Lemon Herb Vinaigrette
I love this Mediterranean Chopped Salad because you can make a giant bowl and eat on it for days! Or in our case you can make it two days in a row because it’s that good!! We’re definitely on a salad kick right now and I’m loving it. And my body is pretty stoked too!

Falafel {with Lemon Tahini Sauce}
Falafel. They are bright and green and filled with fresh herbs. A crispy exterior with a tender moist center makes them irresistible and comfortable and oh so delicious. These chickpea and herb fritters are a staple dish in many parts of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.

Chickpea & Spinach Stew
The holidays have a way of throwing us me off course. No matter how hard I try, temptation is waiting at every turn. This year is going to be different. Yes, I will cave to some temptations, or better said…enjoy my favorite dishes in moderation. Yet, what I won’t do is completely abandon my Healthy Choices plan only to start over on January 1st. Nope, not gonna do it. This Chickpea & Spinach Stew, adapted from Weight Watchers, is going to keep me on track.

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas {Healthy Living}
Healthy Living is something we should all aspire to. I’m not crazy about the word diet, unless a doctor puts you on one. For me, and many I talk with daily, we just need to bite the bullet and eat right and exercise…aka a little Healthy Living. I’m about to enter airport world, lethal for Healthy Living (just behind Amusement Parks and County Fairs). Seriously, someone please start an airport restaurant franchise featuring healthy living options, that are quick and portable. I’m taking these Garlic Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas with me…baby steps.
