Chick Pea Salad

This salad is one of my favorite midday snacks. It has all my favorites-chickpeas, cilantro, olive oil- Arab much? Its super easy to make and LOADED with nutrients. So not only does the cilantro flush out toxins from your body, but the chick peas are loaded with protein and fiber and are a great source of the "right kind of carbs" for diabetics! Say whaaaat?!

Kicking it at the Farmer's Market

Where would we be without farmers markets? Without them we would buying all our fruits and vegetables under artificial lights listening to instrumentals of 80's songs and the ping-ping of people checking out all the time. Which is not ideal. What is ideal is talking to local farmers and learning straight from them the best way to store and prepare the produce you are buying.

And have you noticed how nice people are there? Its like your back in the 50's and people are just legit happy to see you and ask how your doing. We are hosting a huge barbeque this weekend which will put my farmers market purchases to use (woohoo!) Were going to battle the Texas heat and fire up the grill!
