I love traditions. And maybe it’s just the Type A in me that secretly really loves structures and order. Or maybe I just really love pizza. Because as soon as I landed in Holland 9 months ago, I initiated pizza Friday’s. But then the boyfriend tulip-man dropped the fact that he doesn’t like pizza on me, and all structure nearly went out the window. But pizza was quickly replaced by sushi Friday’s, and things haven’t been tastier (or more $$$$) since....

I do a lot of road-tripping between different hikes or to visit friends in Texas and beyond. And with the wide variety of vegetarian gas station snacks (I’m kidding), I usually reach for some sort of salty crunchy to snack on, like cornnuts or popcorn. But, then I realized I could make a WAY healthier snack with chickpeas that also would travel well. Say hello to these crispy roasted chickpeas with tahini!...
