simple food

food i made #1

Occasionally I cook. It’s a wonderful way to pass them the time and when I’m done there’s food to eat. Win. My latest recipe following success story is from the tumblr blog no-more-ramen which is even more magical than it sounds. If you want cheap, creative, varied, and easy recipes check it out because that blog is a marvelous safe haven. Anywho, the particular recipe I felt today was this chickpea stew. It was cold enough today in Southern California to warrant cooking warm hearty food. And this stew (saute? topping? sauce? idk stew didn’t seem like the right word once it was cooked) did the trick. It was so tasty. I added frozen peas to the recipe which was a perfect pop of color plus extra nutrients. (Also added hefty amounts of curry powder.)
