I need a Pinterest makeover. Either that or I need to hire someone to do it for me. Do you know anyone? My boards are a mess and need to be cleaned up. I cringe when I see old recipes I posted when I was first starting out. Whenever I see them, I delete them but there are so many of them that I have a small panic attack every time I’m on the site. Ack!

I don’t have the time or patience to deal with it. I know a lot of people LOVE Pinterest, but I’m not a fan. It’s a sea of messy posts and random photography and if there’s one thing I hate, it’s a mess.

It’s unbelieveable I have as many followers as I do (if you’re following me huge THANK YOU!). What’s also unbelievable is how some of my ugliest pictures are my most pinned. Two posts that are completely random with the worst photography are my highest ranking pins and others with gorgeous photography are lucky if they get 100 pins. I don’t get it. I must be doing something wrong. Pinterest, you are the bane of my existence!

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about the pins. Being an ex IT consultant, I have this insane need to figure things out. As you can tell, I drive myself crazy with this stuff.

Truthfully if I were only about followers and numbers, I’d be posting chocolate smothered desserts every day because drool worthy bad-for-you food is what ignites people.

While I do believe in a balanced, non-restrictive approach to eating, I don’t believe this site should reflect something I am not. I truly hope you see that when you come here which leads me to this Broccoli Cauliflower Chickpea Bowl.

I don’t know what it is about roasted vegetables. To me, they taste like candy. A couple years ago you would have never heard me saying that.

Now I could live off roasted vegetables no matter the season. Hot or cold I will gladly eat them.

This is the first dish I attempted to roast chickpeas and have I ever been missing out! These magically delicious beans are a 1983083570475 times better roasted. They make a great snack on their own. Not exaggerating at all here!

But seriously, I’ve been loving this Broccoli Cauliflower Chickpea Bowl for months. It’s a super EASY and satisfying meal.

I like having it for lunch when I need something heartier than a salad to last me through afternoon swim lessons I teach, but you could also make this for dinner.

I roast everything on the weekend and store everything in separate containers then during the week I assemble, warm in the microwave and drizzle with the creamy tahini sauce for a warm and filling meal.

If you want guaranteed goodness, this Broccoli Cauliflower Chickpea Bowl is for you!

      It’s like candy. I always tell people if they don’t like vegetables to try roasting them. Almost everyone likes them that way.

    I’m right there with you — in need of a Pinterest makeover, but with no time or energy to tackle it myself! Let me know if you find someone good…

    And this dressing? I could drink it with a straw! Tahini is SO good!

    I feel the same away about my old pins! They’re horrid! It’s funny how some of the crappiest stuff does really well on Pinterest, lol. I don’t like using it from the main feed but I love it as a search tool. Then it only gives you relevant pins, which is nice.

    This chickpea bowl definitely looks pin-wirthy! I bet that lemon tahini sauce could make anything taste good. 🙂

      That would make sense EXCEPT my pictures & food now are really good so obviously there’s more to it.

    Pinterest uses an algorithm that has to do with repins I believe, so if a pin gets a lot of repins Pinterest will display it more. That’s why a new recipe will get no repins at first and then pick up months later! I’ve come to love it but I also probably spend too much time on it!

    This looks wonderful, love the simple ingredient list and flavor combo. I wonder how swapping the cashews for hemp seeds would work. Thanks!
