Hot Spicy Chicks

by J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) on April 15, 2011

We had his & hers meals for supper again. Does anyone else say supper, by the way? These days, I feel like I was born in 1617 when I say it. :lol:

Dustin had his Buffalo chicken wings and I had my Buffalo chickpeas.

I like tossing all of my veggies with the dressing and spices in a big bowl to coat all the veggies evenly. Drizzling just doesn’t work as well until you get halfway through and can mix it around, lol.

I love eating salads out of mixing bowls. Because size DOES matter…

Disappointed smileThumbs down

But this time, I transferred it to a smaller bowl.

Unlike my first Buffalo chickpea recipe, this one used Bolthouse yogurt blue cheese dressing instead of mayo.

I take no credit for the croutons in this salad. I was missing my delicious homemade ones!

In the bowl:

  • Romaine lettuce, celery, shredded carrots, red onion, and broccoli slaw tossed in EVOO + balsamic + red wine vinegar, black pepper, and AlsoSalt
  • 1/2 cup reduced sodium chickpeas tossed with 2 TBSP Bolthouse Farms yogurt blue cheese dressing (50 cal) and a few teaspoons of Dave’s Gourmet hot sauce, plus a few splashes of Cholula on top
  • Olivia’s croutons, not to be confused with my homemade croutons Smile

So delicious! Very spicy, I may have overdone the hot sauce, lol. You can also make lettuce wraps with the Buffaloed chickpeas instead of a regular salad:

Not in the mood for a salad? How about…

Chickpea No-Meat Meatballs?

Or spaghetti with roasted brussels sprouts + chickpeas?

Or try all of the above and call it breakfast, lunch, and dinner supper tomorrow. Smile

I wasn’t crazy about chickpeas when I was little. I thought they were sooo dry and bland. But I would eat them anyway, LOL. Now, I eat them and actually enjoy them.

Do you have any weekend plans? Tricia is sleeping over tomorrow night, but nothing else is on the agenda. I’m thinking about making a special dessert tomorrow… maybe homemade chocolate pudding? That sounds pretty legit. Feel free to leave me recipe suggestions if you have any!! Rolling on the floor laughing

I’m loving all the new uses I’m finding for tempeh. It’s quickly moving up to being my favorite meat alternative, or at least in the top 5. My latest tasty tempeh creation: Buffalo Tempeh Salad with blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese yogurt dressing I tore off a hunk of baguette Panera Bread style. Panera [...]

Better Than A Restaurant

Pardon me while I toot my own horn: my lunch salad was better than what you will get at most restaurants! In fact, I should open a restaurant that sells nothing but salads because I have mad veggie compilation skills, yo! Picture it… Jenn’s Salad Hut — would you patronize it? LOL I would!! London [...]

Things That Are Overrated

May 14, 2010 Jenneral Posts

What are some things that you think are overrated? Some of mine… Starbucks I like Starbucks, but I don’t think it’s the best coffee ever. Their cleanly restrooms make up for the .25 cent cup of Joe they charge $4.50 for, though. Cell phones They’re handy, but do you really need to be on them [...]
