Today marks the nine-thousand-one-hundred-and-twenty-fifth day of my human beingness.
I don't feel old enough to be 25. I still sleep with a blanket.
Since I'm basically a chickpea in human form, I decided to celebrate my birfday with foodgasmical recipes featuring none other than the humble garbanzo bean. Its versatility never ceases to amaze me. From hummus and veg burgers to cookie dough and alfredo sauce, chickpeas are one truly special breed. They simply cannot be stopped!
Without further adieu, I give to you 25 unique recipes featuring chickpeas from some of my favorite blogger friends! Try your best not to drool. It's time to get your garbanzo on!!
