Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

March 24th, 2013Tina0 Comments

I’ve got the munchies and I need a snack! I would love a chocolate chip cookie (or two) right about now and even my husband has been nudging me to make a batch. I’ll make cookies some other time and share them with you then, but for now the healthy snack wins. For now, what I need is something I can nosh on that won’t blow my calorie intake. Oh and of course it HAS to be delicious too. I cook with chickpeas for dinner a lot but I never thought to roast them. These golden brown nuggets are a …

Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

March 19th, 2013Tina0 Comments

Early last week it started to feel like springtime because we had warmer temperatures and sunny weather but now the temperatures have dipped back down to feel like winter again. What happened?

This sugar cookie recipe represents the quintessential sugar cookie because the cookies come out soft, buttery and wonderfully sweet. Another great point about sugar cookies is that you …

Everyone needs a good sugar cookie icing recipe in their recipe collection. I don’t make cut-out cookies often, but when I do the icing is a must for presentation points! This icing is sweet which makes it perfect to use with sugar cookies. In fact, I would use this icing recipe with other cookies like gingerbread cookies. You can customize the icing to any color you want. Plus, initially its consistency is thin so that it’s easy to use for icing the cookies, but then it hardens up nicely. I love to decorate my home, so it makes a lot …
