A bag of chickpeas has been staring me in the face for weeks now. Countless times I have looked at them, picked them up, looked them up and down, put them back and looked at them again. Finally last night it was like something came over me and I soaked them before going to bed and cooked them today before turning them into hummus and my own style of falafel as a quick lunch for the kids and I. For the hummus I followed this recipe here and for the falafel I just made it up using whatever leftovers needed to be used up in the fridge. Certianly not your traditional style falafel considering they included avocado and dijon mustard but they tasted pretty good none the less and the boys didn't mind at all.
