It's time to reimagine ways to enjoy deviled eggs. 🥚 This Deviled Egg Chickpea Pasta recipe is packed with protein (thank you chickpea pasta and eggs!), flavor, and makes excellent leftovers. Wait though, doesn't this seem like more of a spring/summer recipe? Arguably...yes. But let's be honest - pasta is meant to be enjoyed at ANY time of year. ☀️🌦️🌷🍁🌨️ = ❤️ 🍝 Recipe up now! Link in my bio. https://alegumeaday.com/deviled-egg-chickpea-pasta/ I personally like chickpea pastas that only have chickpea flour and maybe salt in them, not protein powders and other binders. My husband and I are huge fans of @barilla chickpea pasta (also their lentil pasta, but that is for a different post). But do what works for you! 👍😊 #chickpeas #alegumeaday #vegetarian #chickpeapasta #pasta #deviledeggs #pastasalad #glutenfree #legumes #lovepulses #병아리콩 #파스타 #채식주의자 #채식 #병아리콩파스타

I don't know about you, but Colorado has snow in the 10-day weather forecast. ❄️ And that means it is soup season! 🍲 So here comes lentil curry to the rescue. This is a great staple any time of year, but there is something especially satisfying about a steaming bowl of lentil curry when it's cold outside. 🥶 ➡️ ☺️ Recipe for Warming Lentil Curry on my website now. https://alegumeaday.com/warming-lentil-curry/. As always, I would love to hear your thoughts! PS @bobsredmill has great red lentils, with the added bonus of being able to order online when it's chilly out. 👍 #alegumeaday #lentilcurry #soupseason #plantbased #vegetarian #vegan #lentils #lovepulses #pulses #legumes #plantprotein #dietaryfiber #fall #fiber #curry #bobsredmill

Hi! I research pulses for my PhD. Wait...what are pulses? you wonder. You are not alone! In fact, I didn't even know what pulses were before starting my PhD. So I promise, no judgment at all from me. Check out this quick video explaining pulses, and explore the difference between legumes, pulses, and beans because we all know THAT is how you impress friends and family over dinner. 🍽️ https://alegumeaday.com/what-are-pulses/ (or on IGTV) Three cheers for pulses! 👏 @usdrybeans @usapulses @boldbeanco #alegumeaday #legumescience #lovepulses #drybeans #beans #pulses #legumes #whatarepulses

Looking for a savory pumpkin dish to ring in the new season? 🎃🍂 This zesty pumpkin bean dip is a fall flavor bomb! Plus, it is super simple to make, packs in a bunch of good nutrition, and leftovers store well in the fridge. 👍 Also, fun fact - pumpkins are not the only fall food in this. Beans are harvested in the fall, too! 🍁 Check out this new recipe up on my website now: https://alegumeaday.com/zesty-pumpkin-bean-dip/ I made this with @8_trackfoods black beans - so good! 😋 #alegumeaday #beandip #pumpkin #fall #legumes #beans #blackbeans #vegetarian #vegan #appetizer #healthyfood #lovepulses #pulses #drybeans #콩요리 #채식 #채식주의자 #8trackfoods

Have you seen more tempeh popping up in markets, restaurants, and grocery stores lately? But wait, what is tempeh?? Well, for one, it's DELICIOUS. 🤤 @driando wrote a fantastic, in-depth review article. Check out my website (https://alegumeaday.com/what-is-tempeh/) for a short summary, or dive into the full article!  I also want to give a special shoutout to @littlehouseoftempeh and @projectumami for inspiring me to start making my own tempeh. #alegumeaday #legumescience #tempeh #whatistempeh #lovepulses #legumes #drybeans #beans #soybeans #tempe #vegetarian #vegan #plantbased

This sun-dried tomato tofu spread is satisfying, simple, and packed with good ingredients. It only takes a few minutes to make, so what are you waiting for? Recipe in the website in my bio! 👍😋 Also, if you're wondering about sourdough, let me know! 🍞 I struggled with whole wheat sourdough for quite a while, but using @bobsredmill whole wheat flour was a huge game changer for consistently awesome texture, crumb, and flavor. #alegumeaday #tofu #sundriedtomatospread #plantbased #legumes #tofudip #tofuspread #vegan #vegetarian #appetizer #quickmeal #두부 #두부요리 #사워도우 #베이킹 #건강식 #weeknightdinners #sourdough #baking #bobsredmill
