“Tonight’s dinner plan? Open this can!” is Heyday’s tagline. I’ve found it to be true. Yes, it’s a can with beans and sauce in it. But the genius of Heyday is the sauce selection plus their recipe blog, Shelf Life. I’ve found new ways to turn a can of beans into dinner, or lunch for the week.
The Coconut Curry Chickpeas are probably my favorite. I first used Ali Slagle’s recipe for combining them with cauliflower, stuffed wraps with it, and air fried them (which is where the idea for @airfryerburrito came from). I’ve also tried this sweet potato combo (pictured).
The Harissa Lemon Chickpeas are a close second. They’re slightly spicier, but versatile and zingy. I like them with couscous and yogurt. I’ve also used them as a shortcut in pasta recipes, like the one pictured above with mushrooms, shells, and cheese.
My only gripe is that the recipe blog hasn’t changed in a while and could use an update. More dinner plans please.
