Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

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
  1. 2 cups of soaked and cooked chickpeas or grab a can of garbanzo beans
  2. 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  3. 1 tablespoon honey
  4. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  5. 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander.
  3. Mix honey, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, cinnamon and salt.
  4. Toss chickpeas in the mixture.
  5. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or up to 15 minutes longer if you want them crispy.

My brother teaches me something

I decided to write my brother a letter last week. While I sat down to write the letter, it dawned on me that there were some words he needed to hear. Chris reminded me that I might be the only person in the world that understands him because of experiencing the same childhood. First, I told him I was proud of him for working hard to stay out of trouble and keep a job. These are words that we both long to hear from our parents. Our desire to hear these words from them pushed us to act in two very different ways. Second, I told him that I admired him. That might sound strange intiailly but the last time that I saw him was at dinner at my parent's house. Before he left, he leaned down to give a hug to my father who was laying in the recliner. Dad didn't reciprocate, but I can't imagine how much courage and forgiveness had gone through Thomas's heart to be able to do that. I'm shamed to admit that I can only remember hugging my dad 2 times in my adult life. ...

Spring

It's hard to believe we've been in TN for almost 10 months. We've just about made it through all the season. I have to admit that it was quite beautiful to experience the fall leaves for more than a day that we might have seen in Charleston. The winter was a rough initiation but I made it. I'm pretty sure I made every attempt not to leave the house, but the snow pretty much helped with that. It seems that the seasons have changed once again overnight. Literally, in one day, the leaves on the tree next to our house have gone from barren to full of green. Bushes and trees are flowering everywhere. There's something so refreshing about spring. While all the seasons are beautiful, spring represents new life. What a perfect time for Lana to arrive!

Nourishing Cabbage Roll Soup

If you don’t like cabbage, I encourage you to try this recipe before you write it off.  This is my current favorite go to recipe right now and it’s a hit with the whole family. It’s warm, filling and nourishing. It’s much like cabbage rolls but without the work of stuffing and rolling those cabbage leaves but just as good, if not better. This soup reheats well and we enjoy it as leftovers. I also like to add collard greens to this soup but you can leave that out.  Ingredients 1 onion, diced 3 cloves, minced 1 lb grass fed beef 1/2 lb pastured spicy pork sausage 3/4 cup of basamati rice 1 medium cabbage, chopped (core removed) 1 bunch of collard greens (leaves cut from stems and chopped) 1 quart of canned diced tomatoes 2 tbsp tomato paste 4 cups of bone broth (I used pork, but really any will do). 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp thyme 1 tsp Celtic sea salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce Instructions In a large pot, saute onion, garlic ...
