You can either use a store bought vanilla flavored syrup that is used for coffee or you can make a homemade one.

To make a homemade vanilla syrup, all you need to do is combine 1/2 cup white granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. That’s it. Easy and tasty! And enough for 4 lattes… because one needs to think ahead, right?

Broccoli, Chickpeas and Garlic Whole-Wheat Spaghetti

broccoli, chickpeas and garlic whole wheat pasta recipe

(365/13)

I like whole-wheat pasta a lot.

I like the unique taste it has, I like its slightly brittle texture (fiber baby, fiber!) and I like the idea that it’s considered healthy.

To make a super-quick lunch or dinner, I often put together some whole-wheat spaghetti, a little bit of soy sauce and some steamed or cooked vegetables. Simplicity is my favorite game!

The meals made with this kind of pasta are even surprisingly satisfying… just like this recipe…
