Sprout & Pea

I actu­ally first made these for Cinco de Mayo two weeks ago. The ladies I was feed­ing, how­ever, devoured the entire dish before I had the chance to take a photo. So, on this rainy Sun­day, with a han­ker­ing for Mex­i­can food that I just can’t seem to kick, I made them again. My room­mate, to say the least, was quite happy to test them out for a sec­ond time.

I’ve been on a fig kick lately and what goes bet­ter with figs than cheese? Noth­ing. So, I decided to com­bine the two with my favorite green of late, arugula, and make some que­sadil­las in Ezekiel tor­tillas. I love the fla­vor and tex­ture of these tor­tillas (and all Food For Life prod­ucts for that mat­ter) and more impor­tantly, they are made from pure sprouted grains. This was an extremely sim­ple din­ner to make– all it requires is plac­ing tor­tillas on a bak­ing sheet lined with parch­ment paper, adding the top­pings, and bak­ing for 35 min­utes.

Mak­ing my own quinoa pizza dough has been on my list of recipes to try for a while now. I had every inten­tion of finally try­ing this last night. That was until i got home late and tired and want­ing to make some­thing quick to eat. Enter the easy, yet still healthy alter­na­tive: ezekiel tortillas.

A few months ago, I took a trip to Israel with my fam­ily. I was really inspired by the food there — although, I think being there dur­ing Passover made me swear off of mat­zoh for good. My favorite places were all of the lit­tle hole in the wall cafes that served noth­ing but ten dif­fer­ent kinds of hum­mus. We were lucky enough to be with friends who knew of the best ones to take us to. If you haven’t noticed yet, we can also add hum­mus to the list of foods that I’m crazy about, so need­less to say, this was like food heaven for me.
