Focaccia-style skillet chickpea flatbread is one of those recipes that you didn’t know you needed… until now! Focaccia is a flat leavened bread from Italy. Socca is a chickpea flatbread (unleavened bread) with origins in Italy and France. And this fun-to-make, focaccia-style skillet chickpea flatbread is from my very own kitchen!

tahini caesar-style salad with roasted carrot chips

by Jackie Newgent  |  August 23, 2021  |  5 Comments
This tahini caesar-style salad with roasted carrot chips is so enjoyable, it has become my go-to plant-based salad when I want something special (and when I just want salad!). What makes it special? It skips the egg yolks, anchovies, and parmesan cheese of traditional Caesar and swaps it with loads of plant-based flavor from tahini, tamari, lemon zest, and more. And then it gets topped with roasted carrot chips for a pop of color. You can sprinkle on extras, like toasted pine nuts and carrot tops, for extra crunch, flavor, or overall intrigue, too.

Most importantly, these warm peanut noodles with cool confetti veggies are 100% yummy!

almond lover’s hummus

You’ll adore my new velvety, contemporary take on hummus. I do! It keeps the traditional chickpeas, lemon and garlic of classic Middle Eastern hummus, then goes uniquely “almond-forward” from there. You’ll find almond butter, sliced almonds and almond milk! The most intriguing part of this hummus is the almond milk since you’ll simmer it to create a rich almond milk reduction, enhancing the dip’s creaminess and nuttiness. I love almond milk’s versatility! Serve this almond lover’s hummus with crudité and whole grain pita or pita chips as a nutrient-rich snack or party dip. (Hint: Make it for Meatless Monday and enjoy as a plant-based way to punch up protein intake.) It’s memorable! Why it’s better for you? Traditional hummus and...
