Chickpeas, Cookies and Brooms?

Sunday night I made "The Stew" It's a delicious chickpea stew spiced with ginger and turmeric and simmered with full fat coconut milk, I added a leftover cubed potato and some leftover tofu too. It's a recipe from the New York Times, and I guess it became so famous that if you Google the stew, this is the first result! I definitely understand why, it's warming and comforting and nourishing! The New York Times only lets you see the recipe one time before they want you to pay for a subscription, but I found someone who made the dish and reprinted the recipe. Here is the recipe, I think everyone should try it!

I sauteed some onion, mushroom and spinach so I can add some to my chickpea pancakes for my first meal. I'm treating myself like a kid, and trying to sneak more veggies in!

I soaked and cooked dried chickpeas for the stew and had some leftover, so last night I made chickpea noodle soup and some gluten free grilled cheese with daiya havarti jalapeno block. Hug in a meal!

Remember that almond flour chocolate chip cookie mix I got on clearance from Sprouts? I've been dreaming of those cookies, and so upset with myself for not buying more than two boxes!! I kept the ingredient list from the box and I'm working on recreating those gems. This was my first go, the taste is on point but the texture is a little off. They're somehow both crumbly and moist. Gluten free baking is weird! Once I have mastered these I will definitely share the recipe!

I saw that the broom challenge was trending on Twitter yesterday, and like a dork tried it and was blown away! Twitter said Nasa said Monday was the only day this could happen due to the earth's gravitational pull. Well, I guess a broom can stand on it's own any day due to the broom's gravitational pull. How have I used a broom my whole life and not known this could happen?
