My mom made them so saucy with mayo and onion and I didn't care how bad my breath smelled when I brought it to school LOL!

I was having a serious fridge situation with cans upon cans of drained chickpeas just sitting in there waiting for their moment of glory LOL. For the past few months I had been just roasting the chickpeas in the oven and seasoning them with a blend of nutritional yeast, onion ...

Also just warning you that this is probably worth like 3 blog posts and can be little raw at times- but I really want you to take it all in and process it all at once, so grab a cup of coffee and let’s get to it! How it all began: If you were to ask me 10 years ago- heck even 5 years ago if I would have ever seen ...
