I don't know why I resisted canned chickpeas so long.

The dried ones are best for making falafel though. You want the crunchy texture in your patties.

I tend to use canned beans for most of my recipes. Easier and I'm not a purist when it comes to such things.

I stopped buying canned veggies (corn and peas) that I used to stock up on in favour of bags of frozen veggies a while back. I guess I just thought it was healthier. :)

LOL ... we never got fast food when we were little. I think I was in my late teens before I ever tasted a (home made) pizza. It was NOT good but it was different and eventually we did order a pizza so my mom had an idea of what it SHOULD taste like. :)

I regularly buy cans of baked beans, especially when they're on sale. I've made baked beans from scratch twice. It wasn't worth the effort though the Korean flavoured (leftover gochujang marinade) version WAS good.

I've only cooked for my mom, in the 16 mos she lived with me after my dad passed away. My dad got grilled cheese sandwiches and Campbell's cream of mushroom soup when he came over to do my gardening. He's lucky I gave him more than a crust of bread ... he was SO fussy, there was no pleasing him.
