This one’s for all my gluten free vegetarian friends out there. Or just people who like delicious things. I recently bought some interesting looking pasta made from black beans at Trader Joe’s.

Pesto Chickpea Salad
And now I present to you one of the easiest salads ever. Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. Gently toss with store-bought pesto, crumbled feta, julienned radishes, and quinoa.

Juicy Lucy Turkey Burgers
Everybody loves a Juicy Lucy. Cheese is a MUST for a burger, but there’s no law that says it has to go on top. When it’s stuffed inside the burger, Juicy Lucy style, you get to have your cheese and get a surprise. I started by making some pimento cheese. Sorry, I refuse to give out my…
