I made the best lunch today, and just wanted to share it. It’s very, very easy, and pretty healthy, too!

Equipment:

  • Skillet
  • Spatula

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
  • 1/4 yellow onion (chopped)
  • 1/4 red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp yellow curry
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • dash of crushed red pepper
  • soy sauce or Bragg’s Aminos

Spray the pan with non-stick spray. I like olive oil, but whatever you have is fine. Set heat to low and throw in the onion and pepper. Saute them for about three minutes on low, then add the chickpeas, spices, and a few dashes of soy sauce. Cook for another ten minutes or so, stirring every couple of minutes. You can add up to 1/4 cup of water if the chickpeas start to stick to the bottom of the pan, or if you’d like to let them cook on their own for a few minutes while you do other things.

Serve with brown rice and sautéed kale for a well-rounded vegetarian meal!

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
