So this is another test to see how blogging goes straight from my smartphone.  Tonight, I have a cold.  So my cure is to cook warm, comforting slightly spicy foods. 
  I have been thinking about making chana masala for a while and tonight I had everything I needed. 
 
The recipe was cobbled from a few different googled "easy chana masala" recipes I found.  Basically, I sauteed onion in olive oil until it got soft, added cumin seeds, cumin powder, curry powder, cinnamon.  Added minced jalapeno & garlic and one 15oz can of chickpeas.  
 
I added 2-4 diced tomatoes, stirred everything up and added about 1/2 cup of water or so and let everything simmer until it reached the consistency I liked and at the very end I added 1.5-2.5 cups of kale.  I served with quinoa.  i
I'm vegan and often get the question: What do you eat?  Hopefully this blog can answer that. 
 My goal is to show that being vegan is possible and can be inexpensive.  It can also be really expensive - just like any person's dietary preference/needs.  I also really enjoy showcasing both chain and independent restaurants with vegan options as well as products that are vegan.
