Just wanted to stop by today with a quick video recipe. It’s for Broccoli Mum’s healthy Chickpea Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. Chickpeas are a fantastic complex carbohydrate. They are an excellent source of fiber, protein, plus they are a nutrient dense and vestirle food. Like other legumes, chickpeas contain resistant starch. This can help to…

Hello, again…

Homey Goodness Remade: Shepard’s Pie
This recipe belongs to Orla. She will tell you this is her family’s recipe for traditional Irish Shepard’s Pie. She always makes that distinction.

Clear Out the Pantry and Refrigerator Curry
I just love lentils! They are nutritious and delicious. This little legume is packed with protein, fiber, folic acid, essential amino acids, antioxidants, and the list goes on.

TEST: Gluten-Free Apple Pie Bars
It’s as American as Apple Pie! What?!! Did you know that pie predates the Ancient Romans? Pie was made to be portable. It was, and still is, cheaper to make pie than bread. Pies are fascinating to me. They can be sweet or savory and just about every culture makes some form of pie. Here are…
