  • 1 avocado

  • 1 ear of corn (or 15 oz can)

  • 1 tomato

  • salt to taste

  • fresh parsley (optional)

  • vegan sour cream mixed with lime juice (optional)

​

Directions:​​​

  1. Put 1 1/4 cup of water in a pot over high heat and add a dash of salt and olive oil. Once boiling, turn to medium heat and add the couscous. Cover and let cook for 10 minutes

  2. In a saucepan, saute the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, or until the onion is transparent. Add a dash of salt to taste.

  3. Add the beans and saute for 5 minutes, mixing them around frequently. Add desired spices or just salt and pepper.

  4. Prep the tomato, avocado, and other desired veggies for later.

  5. Once the beans and couscous are ready, serve half and half in a bowl and put all the remianing veggies on top and enjoy!

​

Notes:

  1. The key to a good burrito bowl is to make it as colorful as possible (eat the rainbow)which makes it super healthy and filling.

  2. You can use whatever veggies you have on hand for the top, whatever you like best!

  3. You don't have to use israeli couscous. You can sub it for regualr couscous (cooks differently, I suggest you look that one up), or any kind of grain like rice or quinoa.

  4. As for the beans, you can also sub it for chickpeas or other types of beans/legumes.

chocolate chip cookies (v/gf) 

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup vegan butter

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 tbsp water

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 cup garbanzo flour

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

​

Directions:​​​

  1. Preheat oven to 350

  2. Whisk room temp butter with both sugars

  3. Add water, salt, vanilla, baking powder and mix

  4. Fold the garbanzo flour in to creat the dough then add chocolate chips!

  5. On a pan, using wax paper, tin foil or a baking sheet, roll the dough into balls about 2 inches apart and bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown. 

​

Notes:

  1. These cookies will spread! Make sure they have enough space to do their thing.

  2. You can sub regular flour for the garbanzo flour, but I reccommend using the garbanzo flour because they turn out SO MUCH BETTER.

  3. If you like eating raw cookie dough, this dough is 100% safe to consume raw, but doesn't taste as good because the garbanzo flour makes it taste a little planty, but when baked that flavor goes away. Try using regular flour if you want raw cookie dough.
