3 cups Tomato Sauce, unseasoned
1 ½ cups Chick Peas
1 cup frozen Peas
½ cup Raisins

Add oil to skillet set on medium heat. Sauté onions until
they begin to become translucent. Then add garlic and sauté
for one more minute. Add chickpeas, sauté for 1 minute. Add
tomato sauce, peas, raisins and seasonings. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with rice and/or plain yogurt.
I like to
make it spicy and serve with a dollop of plain yogurt on top to
help with the heat. All ingredients are healthy and it tastes
awesome.

Large head of lettuce, big bunch of spinach, other salad greens,
or combination

1 small-medium mild red onion
1 cup black olives, whole or sliced
Vinaigrette:
½ cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine (or other) vinegar
2-3 cloves garlic

Roast
almonds in a pan/skillet until lightly browned (no oil necessary)
allow them time to cool. Wash, spin, and tear up the greens. Put
in a big salad bowl. Add sliced red onion, gorgonzola, and black
olives. Add almonds once they are cooled.
For vinaigrette whisk oil, vinegar and chopped garlic in separate

Toss and enjoy!
