It never fails. Whenever I am doing well with my diet and my exercise, I fall off the healthy lifestyle bandwagon. Call it self sabotage or something like it. But no more. I am done skipping meals and eating out AGAIN. See the above dish? Swiss Chard and Chickpea Stew. This dish will be my saviour. Looks tasty, doesn’t it? I can’t make this one in my Vitamix so I almost feel like I am cheating or going back to 2011.
Here’s the recipe adapted from Fitness.com:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch chard
2 cups diced tomatoes
Pinch of spices and cayenne pepper
1 can of chickpeas
Water or veg stock
Splash of Lemon juice
Directions:
Warm olive oil in large pot. Mix in chard, tomatoes, chickpeas and the rest of ingredients. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Comfort food always makes me feel better. What about you?
