Ingredients
  

  • 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon crushed rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly rub or spray a baking sheet with olive oil. Spread chickpeas out in a single layer on the sheet.
  • Roast about 20 minutes, or until chickpeas are dry to the touch. Remove from oven, and increase temperature to 425 degrees (double-roasting the chickpeas gives them a crunchy texture). Place chickpeas in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil, and stir to coat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and salt. Stir again.
  • Place chickpeas back on the baking sheet. Roast another 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and lightly browned. Let cool completely before serving or storing at room temperature.
  • Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1/4 cup)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour or oat flour
  • 1 cup creamy cashew butter, almond butter, or peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup Date Honey
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 11 x 17-inch baking sheet by lining with a silicon mat. Mix oats, almond flour, cashew butter, applesauce, and Date Honey in a large bowl until well combined. Add raisins, walnuts, and cinnamon. Stir well. Drop by spoonfuls, two inches apart, on baking sheet. Flatten and shape into circles. Bake 10-12 minutes.

Notes

  • Make your own oat flour by placing old-fashioned rolled oats in a food processor or blender and process until fine (1 cup old-fashioned oats will yield about 3/4 cup ground oats).
  • Increase applesauce to 1 cup if you don't use Date Honey.

Guacamole with a Little Kick 

By

Guacamole with a Little Kick 

Guacamole isn't something I grew up eating. But it's funny how your tastes change as you get older. Now, I have it nearly every day. The best part about Guacamole with a Little Kick is that you can have it as a snack or as a topping on a main dish recipe (if you like to add heat, that is).

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium avocados
  • 1/2 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup diced red onions
  • 1/2 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Cut avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avocado from the peel, put in a small mixing bowl, and mash until smooth.
  • Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Chill in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Notes

  • The trick to perfect guacamole is using good, ripe avocados. Check for ripeness by gently pressing the outside of the avocado. If there is no give, it's not ready and won't taste good. If there is a little give, the avocado is ripe. If there is a lot of give, the avocado may be too ripe and shouldn't be used. Another test is to try to flick the small stem off the avocado. If it comes off easily and you can see green underneath it, the avocado is ripe.
  • Use with Black Bean Chili Bake.
  • Spread on Flatbread or Ultimate Nut and Seed Crackers.
  • Put a dollop on top of a serving of Taco Salad.

Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

Spicy Pumpkin Seeds can be sprinkled on top of a salad or eaten alone as a snack. Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are flat, dark green seeds and a rich source of many nutrients. A half cup of pumpkin seeds contains 92% of your daily value of magnesium, a mineral in which most Americans are deficient. They also contain phytosterols, compounds that that have been shown to reduce levels of LDL cholesterol.
