Chickpea Broccoli Casserole from Vegan with a Vengeance

(Please forgive me--I've stolen this pic from someone else's page as I've continuously forgotten to take pics of the damn casserole all week. Opinion of said casserole: yummy (and surprisingly cheesy-tasting) for being so simple, though a bit too oniony for my taste. Next time I'm going with half the amount.)

The Franster

Soylent Green

(Because apparently, it's made of people.)
