Plant-based hummus salad dressing
Enjoy this delicious salad dressing on a variety of salads. It reminded me of Cesar salad when I had it over Romaine lettuce.

I know I am not the only bean eater who farts. Want to reduce your flatulence? It’s scientifically proven that eating beans causes gas. Check out this article from Nutritionfacts.org on beans and gas. Not only can that gas be uncomfortable, it can be embarrassing. Are you afraid to eat beans because you know you have an important meeting, appointment, or job interview later? Have you ever completely stopped eating beans for a period of time over the hassle? I have. I am ready to give eating beans a try again, but only sprouted, then cooked beans. Continue reading “Cooking sprouted beans to reduce flatulence”
Dates are a highly nutritious sweet alternative to all of the sweet junk food on the market these days. Today I made some date paste from Medjool dates that had been sitting in my fridge for a very long time (no one wants to know how long). Dates don’t go bad fast, think of how long raisins last. The recipe is very simple to make with only two ingredients.

If you are anything like me… you probably grab a bag of chips or something else really unhealthy and sit down in front of the TV and munch away mindlessly. This can be a very difficult habit to break so we’re not going to try to break it right away. Instead we are going to replace that unhealthy snack with a healthy one, like the snack pictured below. Throw together a few veggies and hummus or fresh air popped popcorn. You are guaranteed to eat less calories this way then eating chips directly from the bag.
The snacks don’t have to take a lot of time to put together either. These snacks are organic store bought baby carrots, some peas, and cherry tomatoes. Along with store-bought hummus this becomes a very healthy and filling snack. Maybe someday you will feel so good from eating so healthy that you will want to try making homemade hummus like I did. I don’t always have time to make homemade hummus though so I like the option of buying it at the store (try to find a version of hummus with no added oil).
