Super Simple Hummus

Dec29

Yum, yum, yum! 

Super Simple Hummus Recipe 

2 16 oz. cans chickpeas, drained & rinsed (garbanzos) 

1/4 cup sesame tahini 

1 tbls. garlic powder 

1/4 cup olive oil 

1/4-1/2 water 

Blend in a blender or food processor (I use a Fuzion Blender, which is half blender, half food processor) and serve immediately or it can be kept in a glass storage container (don't use plastic...ever!) 


Health Conscious Chocolate Coconut Torte

Dec29

I call it health conscious rather than healthy, because it's not really healthy, but way better for you than your usual chocolate-y dessert. 

I wish I had a recipe, but I can make a list of ingredients... 

Whole wheat pastry flour, oat flour, cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate (2 tbls maybe?), vanilla extract, coconut extract, chocolate extract, vanilla yogurt, skim milk, agave, brown rice syrup, a bit of organic cane sugar, egg whites. Is that it? I think so, I was very tired last night. The icing started out as VCTOtW's Agave Icing, but I then added meringues, chocolate and powdered sugar and then it was a quite good icing. 

This cake was tasty, it would have been better with some ground nuts, walnuts maybe... 

Anyway, just wanted to share what I'm up to in the kitch, I'm off...
