Crunchy Chickpea Snack

I don't know why these have intimidated me for years, but I finally gave them a shot. I love chickpeas and spices, all I needed to do was pop this love affair in the oven!

Here is what I did...

1) Lazily opened a can of chickpeas, rinsed and threw them in a bowl
2) Drizzled olive oil and dashed with cumin, garlic powder and salt (do it to your taste and play with spice options)
3) Placed them on a cookie sheet and tossed them in  @ 400 degree oven
4) Every 10 minutes, stirs those babies!

Bake for 40 minutes or until crunchy.

Yummy and packed full of protein! (How on earth do vegans get protein?????)

Juicing = Creamsicle Recipe

So I am slacking again. I feel it is the story of my life! The good news is, I just got a juicer! I was playing around with it today, and Steve came up with a great recipe! If you are a big fan of the creamsicle, you will love this.

Recipe:
1 large carrot
3 medium oranges
1/4 cup coconut milk (we use So delicious Vanilla)

It was so good! I bet it would be great in the summer if you froze them in Popsicle molds!
