THE RECIPES
Ginger and Turmeric Chicken Noodle Soup 

This comforting chicken noodle soup has a slight twist thanks to lots of ground ginger and turmeric. The recipe calls for using an electric pressure cooker to get maximum flavor for the broth in minimum time, but you can also cook the broth in a stock pot on the stove top for about 3 hours to mimic similar results.

Feedfeed Tip For perfect hard-boiled eggs, add a little white vinegar to the water while they cook; it will make peeling them much easier.

Feedfeed Tip  The method for cooking these suggests baking them in the oven, which is great for when you want to cut down on time and mess, but you can also pan-fry them to get a more crisp and golden brown exterior. The recipe includes a note about how to cook them both ways!
 
Chickpea and Vegetable Fritters by @feedtheswimmers

Can you handle the crunch? Chickpea flour yields major crunch factor which makes these vegetable fritters irresistible! Serve them in burger form or with your favorite grain and a dollop of herbed greek yogurt.
