Have you ever roasted chickpeas? My first time trying it and I love them! Eat them as a snack or on a salad. They are delicious! I tried two different kinds. I used the Trader Joe’s Greek Chickpeas and only added coconut oil. I also used plain garbanzo beans and added a buffalo seasoning and coconut oil. Baked at 425° for 25 minutes. Stir halfway through. Enjoy!

Have you ever crisped havarti cheese on an egg? My daughter taught me this trick. Fry your egg like you like it until it’s almost done. Top with your favorite cheese and flip. Cook until cheese is crispy. I stacked my egg on arugula and topped with salsa. So good!

Have You ever tried chickpea pasta? It’s loaded with protein and gluten-free. Last night I made a pasta bowl with the chickpea pasta and topped with roasted Brussel sprouts, asparagus, and shredded carrots along with grilled barbecue chicken strips and feta cheese. So good!

Getting my oats in again. Did you know eating oats can lower cholesterol as well as help control blood sugar. I always make my oats with almond milk and then add a scoop of protein powder. Love topping it with seasonal fruit which also has health benefits. Here I topped my oats with a fresh peach chopped with skin, toasted walnuts, and cinnamon.
