Kale Marinara w/Chickpeas over Spaghetti Squash

15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce
1 large spaghetti squash
​
Heat oven to 450.  Split squash in half, scrape out the seeds.  Cover a baking sheet with foil and place squash halves face down on baking sheet.  Bake 30 - 40 minutes.  Use a fork to scrape out squash in spaghetti-like strands.
​
Over medium heat in a large sauce pan, heat tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper to a boil.  Add the kale.  Cook down until there is no more liquid and just chunks.  Add marinara and heat and reduce to a simmer.  Cook for 15 minutes.  Add chickpeas and cook for another 5 minutes.  
 
Top prepared spaghetti squash with marinara and enjoy!   (original recipe courtesy of Ordinary Vegan)
Banana Ice Cream
 
5 Bananas, sliced and frozen for at least 6 hours
​
optional: almond milk
optional flavors: vanilla, all-natural peanut butter, cacoa powder, frozen fruit
 
Put frozen bananas in a food processor and blend until creamy - if needed, add a bit of almond milk to help smooth it out.  Add any flavors you want... frozen fruit works well, we enjoy peanut butter, cacoa (chocolate) - finish blending until mixed well.  Enjoy!
