  1. Sounds good. Do you know how to do it with dried chick peas? We avoid cans because of the BPA. I bet it wouldn't be hard using the crock pot.

  2. Do you know the number of servings? And also the container count? Depending on the serving size I'm guessing 1 green, 1 yellow, and maybe 1/2 purple? (Do you count tomatoes as purple or green? I've seen it both ways.)

  5. I am making this for dinner tonight, but need to incorporate some protein. Suggestions on what to pair this with? I have never made eggplant before so not sure what it will be good with. Thanks!

  8. I made this tonight and to be honest, it was very bland and not good at all. We had it over quinoa, and I added some feta cheese to try and salvage it, but it still didn't help. SO bummed because it makes a large batch.
