For breakfast, we whipped up delicious and filling Chickpea Omelets! It has been awhile since we had made these and we are so glad that we did. This recipe is perfect for using up the half an onion, quarter of a pepper, handful of mushrooms, and anything else that you need to use before it goes bad!
The first time we made this recipe we sprinkled the veggies on top, but we have found that adding them to the batter makes for the best ratio. Make sure to use a non-stick griddle for the perfect omelet. There is so much you can do with these omelet, stuff it with more veggies or greens, dip it into your favorite sauce like WYW Sriracha, make a breakfast sandwich, top with salsa, guac, pico, and more!

Chickpea Omelet
This is my go-to picnic and travel recipe!
Ingredients:
- Omelet Batter
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon black salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup WYW Nutritional Yeast
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons soy milk
- Omelet Veggies
- • diced red onion
- • chopped mushrooms
- • diced green pepper
- • chopped zucchini
- • diced bell pepper
- • chopped spinach
- Toppings
- • WYW Sriracha
- • Pico de Gallo
- • chopped cherry tomatoes
- • chopped green onion
Instructions:
Preheat a non-stick electric griddle to 350°F.
Add all of the dry omelet batter ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Add the soy milk and whisk again.
Next, add in as much of the veggies you would like to bowl with the batter, adding more soy milk if it becomes too thick. Mix well to combine.
This recipe will make two omelets, so pour about half the batter out onto the griddle. Feel free to lift tilt the griddle to spread the batter around.
After a couple minutes, use a plastic/rubber spatula to carefully slip your omelet then press down a bit to make good contact with the griddle.
Cook for 2-10 minutes, just until you reach your desired level of doneness. Top with some items from the toppings list and enjoy!
For lunch, we prepared one of our favorite no–chop recipes…Hamburgerless Helper! This recipe was created during the COVID lockdown because it only uses pantry items, making it super simple and affordable. Not to mention, this meal blew up in our Facebook Community, so if you haven’t tried it you definitely need to!
We have made this recipe before on our YouTube channel, but we have updated the recipe. When we first developed the recipe we cooked dry lentils with the tomato sauce. We later found that because of the acidity in the tomatoes the lentils take much too long to cook from dry. This updated version calls for cooked lentils instead, making it much faster. You can even use canned lentils like the no salt added lentils from Westbrae.

Hamburgerless Helper
Now new and improved!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup water
- ½ 6 oz. can tomato paste
- 2 cups cooked brown lentils
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ cup WYW Nutritional Yeast
- 1 8 oz. box favorite pasta
- crushed red pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized pot except for the pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
In a separate pot, cook your pasta according to package directions, no salt, no oil!
Once it’s done, mix both together and enjoy.
For added oomph, pour into a pan and bake in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes. Sometimes we top with breadcrumbs before baking.
For dinner, we made a broccoli lover's dream, Creamy Broccoli Pesto Pasta! This recipe uses fresh broccoli not only in the sauce, but also in the dish. Not to mention, unlike traditional pesto there is no oil or nuts, making it a very low fat! Make a double batch of the pesto sauce to drizzle on your favorite grains. Thank you for joining us for another full day of delicious, simple, and healthy eating!
