Hi There! I'm Arisha and I'm the creator, author and photographer behind wakeupandkale. I started @wakeupandkale to be able to share simple, healthy recipes that anyone can make! My goal is to inspire others to enjoy cooking and to show how easy and delicious healthy eating can be.
I’ve put together this article of 5 simple and easy recipes all made from one main ingredient.... CHICKPEAS! Your weekly meal prep has never been easier!
From delicious chocolate chip chickpeas blondies, to smooth and creamy homemade hummus, we’ve got you covered. Thank you for being here and following along on this journey with me. I can't wait to see what you guys whip up!
