Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

If you need a protein, fiber packed snack, Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas is an easy one to satisfy a sweet tooth as well! I like to soak my chickpeas overnight in warm water with a bit of whey prior to cooking them. This helps break down the phytic acid. This is a very forgiving recipe and you can change it up adding your favorite seasoning. If you like spicy, try adding some chili powder.

Ingredients

2 cups of soaked and cooked chickpeas or grab a can of garbanzo beans
2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander.
Mix honey, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, cinnamon and salt.
Toss chickpeas in the mixture.
Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or up to 15 minutes longer if you want them crispy.

The Home Birth of Norah Hope

41 weeks 1 day pregnant--The time had come finally and thank the Lord because this ole body was ready. I had an appointment with my midwife, Michelle Ray on Monday, April 29th at 10am. Last week, the baby's hand (and possibly the cord) was above her head so Michelle used the ultrasound to check her out. Praise the Lord! Her hand was not above her head. They were at her mouth and pretty sure she was sucking one of her thumbs and/or fingers. I kinda melted... Knowing there was no obstruction, after dinner on Monday, I pulled out the moxibustion sticks from the last birth and lit them up and placed them on the induction pressure points . After all, I had been having crazy contractions for over 2 weeks. The kids surrounded me with indelible curiosity about the moxibustion. Immediately, the baby began moving a lot and contractions started. I continued pressing the pressure points through out the evening before bed and turned in early around 930pm. I woke up at 3am because of...

Labor Part 2--Lana's Birth Story

After 36 hours of early labor and the nesting done, we laid down for another nap around 4pm. I woke up earlier than Chris and then finally woke him up around 6:30pm because Dr. Yoon was coming back by to check on me. She did some more acupuncture and as she was leaving, my water broke around 7-7:30pm. We called Michelle, our midwife, back and she was on her way over. Making it through each contraction was priority #1 as the intensity rose significantly after the water broke. Lana had engaged down and it was so painful to lay down so I paced the house and as each contraction came, new coping skills had to be developed so we tried a lot of things. I sat on the exercise ball, I leaned on it on top of the bed, I got in the shower many times and let the hot water fall on my lower back, and I leaned on Chris. I really enjoyed getting in the shower. My friend, Andy arrived around 8pm to bring me an oreo milkshake which I was not in the mood for any longer (although it would come in ha...

God of This City

One year ago, I was sitting in Riverbluff, my home church for over 28 of my 32 years, when I saw it for the first time. It was a video of images of Charleston, my beloved home, to the tune of "God of This City." We had just found out we were moving. I just about balled my eyes out watching the images of Charleston knowing I was leaving the only place I had ever known as home--my family, friends, church, career and more. What a ride we have been on since then! Last week at our new church, they sung the song and it made me think about what God has done in the last year and how much he has blessed us in the move. First, He completely orchestrated the move selling our house in just 7 days. Then he's blessed us with some amazing people to come into our lives and now we have Lana. At first, hearing the song again brought tears to my eyes as I thought about leaving Charleston and seeing those images flash in my mind. But then, the tears turned to gratefulness for what Go...
