The book has 100 amazing recipes including Motsa Dip which tastes like mozzarella!, Cinnamon French Toast, Sneaky chickpea burgers, Sunflower artichoke burgers, Home-Style Gravy, Pumpkin Pie Smoothie, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Chip Cookies (yum!), nicer Krispy squares,  Creamy Fettucine, Apple Pie Chia Pudding, No-Bake Granola Bars, White Bean Guacamole, Chickpea nibbles, Red Lentil Hummus! , teriyaki stir fry, Lentil Sniffle soup, Best Banana bread and more.

I whipped up the Sneaky chickpea burgers within minutes. Burgers from the book below with a healthy helping of basil. Hubbs has been devouring these as snacks with his evening tea, while he preps for his weekend hike.

The cashew ginger sauce was obviously going to be a hit because you know, anything nutty and ginger sauce! I added some bean sprouts and carrots and healthy garnish of pepper flakes to round it off as a meal.
