I am so happy to let you know I have a new Christmas Gift Guide 2019 Sponsor. The new company is Banza which is a company that features a new way to create Pasta.
I can’t wait for Charlie to find Banza CHICKPEA RICE, Shells which are perfect for Goulash, Mac & Cheese Charlie will be able to cook himself and Rotini which we can us in place of White Rice when we prepare Chicken and Rice.
I used to make Rice and Cheese for my best friend but I haven’t made it since I was a child. Now, I can’t wait to share this recipe with Charlie. I want to see how well CHICKPEA RICE tastes when we add American Cheese to the Rice.
Chickpeas make delicious rice and that is why Banza used them to create Banza Chickpea Rice. With 3x the protein, 2x the fiber, and nearly 30% fewer net carbs, it’s a tasty, nutritious addition to your favorite meals and a twist on a time-honored staple.
Mac and Cheese is a staple in our home and is always on our grocery shopping list. I can’t wait to share Banza Mac and Cheese with Charlie and David.
I had thought of putting Banza Mac and Cheese inside Charlie’s Christmas Stocking. I think I will make Banza Mac and Cheese on Christmas Eve instead of my moms homemade Mac and Cheese. Banza Mac and Cheese is healthier for my family.
I believe this Mac and Cheese will fit into everyone’s diets much better than the one I make from scratch. Banza Mac and Cheese will have a different taste and texture and my niece and nephew may eat Banza Mac and Cheese where they will not eat other Mac and Cheese recipes.
I also received a box of Shells I can’t wait to make Charlie Goulash using the these. Goulash is mine and Charlie’s favorite dish. This was a staple in our home when I was growing up.
I may go ahead and wrap the shells up for Charlie and teach him how to make my moms Homemade Mac and Cheese which would be a wonderful Christmas Gift for my sister.
Chickpeas make delicious pasta! That’s why we used them to create Banza. We took a household favorite and made it even better, turning the pasta you love into the pasta that loves you back.
With nearly 2x the protein, 3x the fiber, and 30% fewer net carbs, you can make every night pasta night!
Rotini isn’t a past I am that familiar with but I think I might use Rotini to make a Mock Lasagna Charlie can take to his old school for the teachers he misses. As well as make extra for my family.
Banza is on a mission to make nutritious food more accessible. Our first product, a delicious pasta made from chickpeas, is the fastest growing pasta brand in the country. In just five years, we’ve gone from an idea to a product in 11,000+ stores, and today Banza is the #1 pasta brand in Whole Foods and Target and the #1 better-for-you pasta brand in the country. We’ve been named one of TIME’s 25 Best Inventions of the year, appeared on The Today Show and Good Morning America, been in the New York Times, and most importantly, brought a better pasta to millions of happy customers.
Now, we’re transforming mealtimes across the country with our recently launched chickpea mac & cheese and chickpea rice, and we’re still just getting started
