Eating In // One Pot Tomato-Poached Eggs with Chickpeas

Me and Austin eat a lot food featured in the legume family. Legumes are filling, nutritious and extremely cheap. You can make this meal with stuff you likely have in your pantry. Perfect for a meatless Monday or whatever. I don't have to tell you that this recipe is easy because you can see for yourself. We hope to make more recipe videos in the future. Let us know what you think!
