Bowl of Saucy Chickpeas WIth Zucchini and Fresh Greens and Basil

So I was trying to whip up a fast dinner for the family the other night and had zucchini, peppers, basil, & greens from the garden. I always have freshly made beans in my freezer, for nights when I need a fast meal with no planning ahead.  So, I defrosted some chickpeas and this dish…

Zoodles With Nut Free Pesto

So the other day I had to teach in a nut-free school. The theme was creepy crawlies, and so I thought, let’s make zucchini noodles to look like worms! I thought I could whip up a nut-free pesto to top it off, like the worms were in grass. The kids loved it!! I sautéed the zoodles…
