Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad

Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad
Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad Sandwich I’ve never liked egg salad, potato salad, or macaroni salad. Don’t get me wrong, I love salads, just not the mayonnaise based kind. I can’t stand mayo! My lunch time is usually rushed because Caleb needs mama’s attention, so I love that this healthy salad can be made in minutes. After you get the chickpeas and avocado smashed together, stir in fresh cilantro, green onion, and lime juice. This Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad is also great as a dip for veggies, crackers, and pita chips.

GM Diet Day 1 | General Motors Diet The GM diet is a seven-day weight loss management plan that consists mainly of selected fruits and vegetables, and strict amounts of meat. It can be a difficult diet to follow especially since it relies mainly on foods that are high in fiber and less in protein, fat and carbohydrates. At the same time however, this diet plan can be used for fast-paced weight loss regimens, with up to 10 lbs. lost after successfully completing one diet week. Preparing the Body for GM Diet On the first day of the GM diet, followers are only allowed to eat fruits. Persons who are planning to start the GM diet may consume starchy foods such as potatoes, oats and bananas the day before their targeted week, so that they would be packed with enough energy to last for the next morning. Aside from preparing the body for the diet plan, physical activities should also be set into rather lighter tasks. Day 1 GM Diet Breakfast The first important meal of the day in a GM diet regimen is breakfast. Day 1 GM Diet Lunch

Paleo Bread™ By The Julian Bakery LEMON PANCAKES WITH YOGURT + BERRIES There was a time when I thought pancakes only came from Bisquick boxes. Pancake creativity maxed out at throwing in some chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter on a weekend morning, but my parents were no-fuss kind of cooks. To be fair, I likely wouldn't have recognized boxed from homemade as a kid, but I've found myself fascinated by the more deliberate kind lately. I mean the variety of recipes is endless, with ratios of dry to liquid varying greatly. You can really get fussy about the art of the pancake. Should they be cakey? This naturally gluten free recipe from Bea's cookbook is just lovely. Happy long weekend ahead. LEMON PANCAKES WITH YOGURT + BERRIES // Serves 4, makes about 12 small pancakes Loosely adapted from La Tartine Gourmande by Beatrice Peltre I didn't have all the ingredients from Bea's original recipe, but I worked with what I had, still keeping them gluten free. You don't need to have packaged oat flour.

House of Tibet - Salt Lake City, UT Roasted (Wish They Were Grilled) Cabbage I have a confession. This summer loving home cook has no grill. :( We HAD a grill at our old house but it became a casualty of the move and now a new one just isn’t in our budget. Unfortunately the deck where that grill would love to sit is also out of the question but I digress. As the name suggests I’d much rather throw these on the grill however, they work perfectly fine in the oven. So why not? If you’ve never had grilled cabbage you are in for surprise. I flavor mine with a bit of lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, pepper and bacon bits but you could really use anything. 1 tsp olive oil (5g)2 tbsp real bacon bits (14g)2 tbsp lemon juice1 tbsp worcestershire sauce1/4 tsp kosher salt1/4 tsp ground black pepper (more or less to taste)1 Medium Head of Cabbage Preheat the oven (or the grill, you lucky son of a b ;) to 425 degrees. Mix the olive oil, bacon bits, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to make the marinade. Prepare the cabbage. Cut the head in half on the core..

How to Make Vegetable Stock Feel free to use the onion skins, they'll add flavor and a lovely caramel color to the stock.

Method 1 Place the dried mushrooms in a large bowl and pour 1 quart of boiling water over them. 2 Heat the olive oil over high heat in a large stockpot. 4 Using a spider skimmer or slotted spoon, remove all the big pieces of vegetable and mushroom.
