It is a new year and that always comes with new resolutions. As always, my biggest resolution is to get fit; whatever that might mean!

Last year was pretty good. I stuck it out at the gym all year long, but this year is the year of muscle-bound Renee. My plan is to hit the gym four to five times a week, in addition some gruelling ass-kicking sessions with Andrew Russell (paddler extraordinaire and the only man I have ever met who has a true six-pack).

With all this being said, I still need to eat after my workouts, so I share with you my favorite post-workout dish, the Chick Pea Delight with a fried egg. This dish is good anytime, anyday and anywhere. Enjoy.

Chickpea Delight With Fried Egg

1 can of chickpeas; drained
