Food 4 Thought
Giving thanks for one’s food has the potential to transform one’s eating into something more than just ensuring physical survival but can be spiritual as well.  That’s why Judaism has a system of blessings both before and after we eat, built-in reminders of the good we have in our lives and the importance of expressing gratitude for it. Learn more about how to make eating more spiritual.

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day and I’m all for having it for dinner too! This can be made with or without the chickpeas and replaced with quinoa, farro, rice or potatoes as well.
