We are back with our easiest recipe yet! Crispy Roasted Chickpeas from Love and Lemons. Chickpeas are a good source of fibre, protein and folate and also provide a plant-based source of protein. Canada’s Food Guide recommends choosing more plant-based proteins to help prevent diseases like heart disease and cancer 😀

PLEASE READ and SHARE: 💙 A Kind Reminder for Our Amazing Community 💙
We are so grateful for everyone who donates to support our local food bank — your generosity truly makes a difference.
One quick reminder: we’re unable to accept expired food 😮💨.
When expired items are donated, the food bank can’t distribute them, and unfortunately it actually costs the food bank money to dispose of them — funds that could otherwise go toward feeding families.
We recently had 17 pounds of food left at our door that had expired as far back as 2017, and while we appreciate the intention, we want to make sure all donations can safely help someone in need.
If you’re ever unsure whether something is acceptable, feel free to ask!
Thank you for helping us support the food bank in the most effective way possible. 💛
