One of these years I'll be creative like that in the kitchen! Sounds amazing and I'm thinking I'll run downstairs right now and open a can of chickpeas! And to comment on the rest of your post, this is why I am childless. My two dogs often drive me crazy... kids can't be kept in crates. When they can, maybe I'll reconsider! ;) Serious props to the mamas out there - I don't know how you do it all!! mmm chickpeas… mmm cilantro… two of my favorite things.

See, I would never have thought of making something like that. I love your recipes because you always seem to come up with different things that are so easy to make. I make my own taco seasoning, too. Edward used to always laugh at me when I bought the packaged seasoning packet. That is also loaded with salt. I never realized that before. So, he showed me how to make it from scratch and I do that now. Thanks for another great recipe to try. :) Those tacos look really good. See, I would never have thought of making something like that.

Your chickpea tacos look great. Good luck with those kids. If it makes you feel any better my little one went a little crazy yesterday and smacked me in the face after I beat her in B-I-N-G-O. ~Justine Love pears! Your chickpea tacos look great.

And I agree that kids love to do tasks like that if it seems more like play than chores. I am so with you about the stress of parenting sometimes. I feel like there are days and activities when my patience is limitless and other times I just want to crawl under the covers and let the chaos continue around me without dealing with it! It is nice to know other people experience the same thing. :) Pear sauce sounds so good! And I agree that kids love to do tasks like that if it seems more like play than chores.
