I am excited to share this post with you today for a healthier you and a healthier planet. Do you know what pulses are? They are a delicious protein-packed group of sustainable foods you know as beans, lentils, peas, and chickpeas! We are celebrating Global Pulse Day 2017 on January 18th, 2017 with 38 Pulses Recipes: Beans, Lentils, Peas, Chickpeas. Do you already include these in your weekly meals? I can say we really love to.
And here is one of our newer posts, Warm Rustic Black Bean Dip, you will love it.

Pulses are superfoods that are a great healthy choice for you but even more important is that they are delicious. We can all talk about healthy choices but if they are not also a delicious choice we are not going to eat them. In our family, we really do love this food group! Choose one or more of these and let’s celebrate Global Pulse Day on January 18th, 2017 together! Celebrate the 2nd edition of #GlobalPulseDay with us – join the celebration and eat pulses! #LovePulses Check out this video to find out more!!
