2. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
3. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Who else has been trying out new recipes during this quarantine? I'm currently in Sweden so there is no actual quarantine going on but I am being especially careful! </span><br />
4. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
5. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I decided to make some hummus because it's a beautiful day out and I love hummus! I mean who doesn't?</span><br />
6. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
7. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I don't remember where I found the recipe I used but here it goes! </span><br />
8. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
9. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups chickpeas (cooked)</span><br />
10. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1/3 cup tahini</span><br />
11. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil</span><br />
12. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2 tbsp fresh lemon juice </span><br />
13. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1 garlic clove</span><br />
14. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
15. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5 tbsp water (or as needed)</span><br />
16. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
17. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I obviously thought this wasn't going to make a lot of hummus so I decided to double the recipe and tweak it here and there. </span><br />
18. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
19. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I used three garlic cloves (cuz I love garlic)</span><br />
20. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and</span><br />
21. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I added a bit more lemon juice than 4 tbsp.</span><br />
22. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
23. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Once you have all the ingredients together you just blend them! </span><br />
24. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
25. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And that's that! </span><br />
26. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
27. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Easy Peasy and totally delicious! </span><br />
28. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
29. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here are my step by step photos and end result *drool*</span><br />

Don&amp;#39;t forget to put your clocks ahead an hour? I guess for the most parts your phones will do that for you. I forgot about the time change until now.. but I guess it makes sense as to why i&amp;#39;m extra tired.&lt;br&gt;

44. This is another recipe from Run Fast Eat Slow that I made last weekend. I've tried the store-bought beet hummus from farm boy and really liked it, so I thought it would be fun.<br>

50. A few short-cuts that made this recipe come together in 5 minutes:<br>
51. - I had some cooked chickpeas in the freezer that I'd made from dried ones int he INSTANTPOT - so convenient to have on hand. If you have an instantpot you can cook chickpeas without even soaking them overnight in less than an hour-say what!!! love my instant pot. Canned chickpeas would work too.<br>
52. - I cheated in terms of roasting the beet- I used "Just Beets" organic packaged cooked beets from Costco. They are awesome to have on hand. I highly recommend them. Alternatively cook up a few beets so you have them on hand for hummus, smoothies, etc..<br>
53. <br>
54. I cut up a whole bunch of celery and carrots and Stefan made some pita chips to go with these. The cookbook also has a recipe for Chipotle Hummus, that I will try soon.<br>

I&amp;#39;m hoping that as spring approaches I&amp;#39;ll get back into a routine of going more and more.&lt;br&gt;

67. I wanted to share a few recipes with you from this cookbook, Run fast, Eat slow by Shalane Flanagann and Elyse Kopecky. A friend recommended the book and I ordered it, made one smoothy from it and promptly forgot about it. Last week, I was in Victoria for work..with a quick visit to see Daniele, Paul, Skylar (who despite me being scared of dogs, is so cute and the most gentle dog!!) and of course the latest addition- little Brielle.<br>

78. So anyway, Daniele had the cookbook as well. She actually does run fast and ran almost the whole time during her pregnancy. Yesterday we were chatting on the phone and she mentioned she was going to make these superhero muffins. Very appropriate name for superhero mom, baker, cleaner! Really, I called at 9am BC time and she was vacuuming.. who does that? :P<br>
79. <br>
80. I realized I had all the ingredients too. So we both made the muffins, and although we are over 4000 km apart, it almost makes me feel like we are baking together :) ! Here is the superhero muffins recipe and I'll be sharing more soon.<br>

95. These muffins are so moist and are quite healthy. I admit they look a little out there, but hey don't judge a book by it's cover. Stefan ate them right up. He just told me again how good they are.. and asked why they have chocolate in them because It doesn't go well (see note below about chocolate or raisins).<br>
96. <br>
97. I always laugh when cookbooks have recipes that "hide" vegetables.. like hmm.. these muffins wouldn't fool anyone. if your kid is a picky eater and you want to trick him/her into eating carrots and zucchini, these would NOT be for them. for everyone else, enjoy!!<br>
98. <br>
99. We are off to see the Butterflies today at the Museum of Nature! Can't wait!<br>

112. My friend's grandpa died and I decided it would be nice to bake him something. This friend is also a neighbour, and it's always nice to bring food over to neighbours' in times of need. I wanted to make something comforting and practical and was thinking about making muffins. I started sifting through my cookbooks and these lemon bars from Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman (the original not the new cookbook) jumped out at me. My friend likes Lemon meringue and lemon cake so i figured he might like these too. I saved a couple for my friend Stu who is recovering from an inner ear infection and Stefan ate as many as he could before I brought these upstairs... fine I may have eaten a few myself. They taste so yummy and fresh. I would definitely recommend these and will be making them again.<br>
113. <br>
114. It's funny, I have really bad time management when it comes to baking or cooking. I always underestimate the time it will take me. The bars take a bit longer than you'd expect because you first bake the bottom later for 20 minutes, than add the top layer and bake 35-40 minutes more. This time, we had plans to meet friends at the Museum of History's Christmas Market and we wanted to walk over and needed to make a stop on the way. We quickly realized we would never make it on time and pushed back our meeting half an hour. Anyway, the market was really beautiful! I have been going for the past couple of years, and each year i buy less and less. It's still fun to browse and admire the beauty of the Museum.<br>

127. They were so easy and delicious. I love using up food and not wasting anything. Stefan and I are both committed to eating things up before they go bad. It is challenging for me, as I always want to go out and buy more.. but i've halted my spending until we use up what we have on hand.  I find produce goes badly so quickly this time of year. I bought blackberries on Sunday and they were already moldy this morning :( Moral of the story, don't buy so much all at once.<br />

I can&amp;#39;t resist buying them. It&amp;#39;s an addiction. I saw this magazine on healthy recipes by Better Home and Garden in the pharmacy in the building where I work and all the recipes looked so good, had to buy it. Pas de choix.&lt;br&gt;
147. <br>
148. I decided to make these brownies to bring to a wine and cheese at friends'. I soaked the chia seeds as recommended and thought I'd be good to go. Unfortunately I didn't realize that I was missing several key things: sugar,  enough flour, and a brownie pan.. Remember what I said about how sometimes, the stars line up and you have all the ingredients?  Well other times, you just have to make due, or make something else.<br>
149. <br>
150. Note to self: check that you have the ingredients before baking something the morning you need it, in a rush before work.- scratch that- stop baking in the morning before work. you won't have time, even if you have all the ingredients!<br>
151. <br>
152. It turns out, I do have a brownie pan but I only found it after (of course!). Anyway, I decided to use this silicone pan from Epicure, "<a href="https://epicure.com/en/product/4231">Perfect Petites</a>" intended for small bars (granola bars etc). I hadn't ever tried it yet and it worked great.  Because they are non-stick, I didn't need to grease the an at all. So there really is no butter or oil in this recipe, which is pretty sweet!<br>

157. I used brown sugar instead of white sugar- I substituted 1-1 but maybe there is a known ratio? Does anybody know?  And I used half all purpose flour and half almond flour..hey extra protein right?<br>

172. Anyway, Daniele said she was thinking of getting a stand mixer but wasn't sure if she would use it. I suggested she pick a  bread recipe from my Kitchen Aid cookbook and I could show her how it works. Well, she ended up picking a recipe that had didn't even use the Kitchen Aid. Oops. And it isn't so much a bread in the normal bread sense but more of a bread in the almost cake-banana bread variety. It is still pretty healthy and tasted really good. It was one of those times where the stars just lined up and I had all the ingredients on hand..dried cherries.. pumpkin puree.. walnuts.. what are the chances?<br>
173. <br>
174. Full disclosure Daniele pretty much made it on her own. I didn't help much as I was busy preparing a chicken to cook.. wow who are we? so domestic ;)<br>
175. <br>
176. We couldn't stop eating this and it didn't last long. Daniele brought some over to her sis and cousin and fam and they all really liked it too.<br>

188. I discovered CLIF energy bars a few years ago and went nuts for them. I used to stock up on the various flavours and was sure to always keep one on hand for after yoga or before a workout. My brother in law would tease me. What long hike are you doing? How many miles did you bike? CLIF energy bars are great source of protein and provide energy for extreme athletes.</div>

232. So needless to say, I was thrilled to hear about CLIF Organic Trail Mix Bars. Good for any time and perfect for when you might want a lighter snack. They come in several flavours:</div>
233. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
234. </div>
235. <ul>
236. <li>Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter- these ones are my favourite! </li>
237. <li>Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond</li>
238. <li>Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Raspberry</li>
239. <li>Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt</li>
240. <li>Coconut Almond Peanut</li>
241. </ul>
242. <div>
243. Notice a trend? As a chocolate lover, these flavours are right up my alley. I will forgive Clif Bar Company for having one flavour without chocolate. But only because it has coconut.  These bars are gluten free and don't contain oats. All the bars are Vegan and vegetarian.  </div>
244. <div>
245. <br /></div>
246. <div>
247. They retail for $1.99 and can be found in most major grocery stores and natural food stores such as Loblaws, Whole Foods, Sobeys, Wal-Mart, Longos, Safeway, Thrifty Foods, Save on Foods, Federated Coop, Calgary Coop, IGA, Costco, Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Rexall, Jean Coutu, most airports, Mac’s, Couche-Tard, Shell, Canadian Tire, 7 Eleven, Moutain Equipment Coop, Running Room, Sport Chek, Amazon.ca, Spud.ca.</div>

I had just read up on these &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arcticpowerberries.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Arctic Power Berries&lt;/a&gt; and asked her to bring me one of each.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
264. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
265. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course I automatically wanted to make something with the powders and as you may or may not know my family loves chocolate, so what better thing to make than some yummy chocolate.</span><br />
266. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
267. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end I didn't spread out the liquid equally so some bits of my chocolate bar were very bitter whilst the other bits were nice and sweet :D</span><br />
268. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

The weather felt downright tropical after the -20 we have been having here. Ahh to feel the sun warming your skin- marvelous!&lt;br&gt;
325. <br>
326. As my sister had an appointment in the morning, I met her by the T station near her place, and had a few minutes to peruse a cafe/bookstore while I waited for her to get there. I have so many cookbooks and yet I found myself in the cookbook aisle of the store and had to restrain myself.  I was drawn to this cookbook called "Seriously Delish" by Jessica Merchant. The recipes looked  seriously delicious but also pretty healthy and have quality, healthy ingredients.  Once Claire got there, we decided to try and make these muffins later in the day.<br>
327. <br>
328. It was pretty funny, we picked  up some ingredients at the store that  Claire thought we might need: yogurt,dark chocolate and whole wheat flour. It turns out, Claire had all of these at home already. Hmm..Something tells me, E is the one doing most of the cooking. [ note: this was later confirmed by all the delicious meals E cooked for us while I was there... delicious salads, barbecued sausages, pancakes, eggs with mushrooms..mmm he is a great chef and whips meals up like it aint no thing.. Claire is a lucky lady.]<br>
329. <br>
330. We didn't pick up a muffin tin however, and Claire didn't have one. E quickly went on amazon and ordered a silicon muffin tin. Alas, amazon is quick, but not THAT quick. So we decided to make this in the form of a cake- or, as it would turn out "Chocolate mess".<br>
331. <br>
332. Well, let me tell you, this  mess definitely brought us to tears from laughing so hard. Sometimes, there is nothing better than baking with your sister!<br>

367. I recommend making these with moderately dark chocolate or bittersweet. We used a really <b><u>very</u></b> <b><u>dark</u></b> chocolate and I didn't find it sweet enough. My bro-in law, likes things not too sweet so he loved it. Also, we used whole wheat flour, but it would have been better with a whole wheat pastry flour. We ended up serving it in a bowl, topped with blueberry preserves. It would also be good crumpled in Greek yogurt.<br>

But Monday muffins sounded so much better. Besides, if you think of today as Monday, the weekend will come that much sooner!&lt;br&gt;
372. <br>
373. I feel like muffins got a bad rep a few years ago, as all of a sudden people started saying that muffins were full of sugar and fat and were worse for you than donuts. I am prone to being influenced by these things and laid off muffins for quite some time. Although this may be true for store bought muffins (for example, say, triple chocolate muffins from Costco that are bigger than your face), home made muffins can be a lot healthier.<br>
374. <br>
375. So,  I am back on the muffin bandwagon. And, they are super convenient for snacks. With my dad recovering from his knee surgery, I have been trying to make some regularly to bring over. This recipe is based on the Banana Berry Boms muffin recipe from the <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/product/9780968063156-item.html?s_campaign=goo-PLATest&gclid=CJ-N69zdz8ECFWKCMgodqzUARA">Looney Spoons Collection</a> cookbook. Bill got it for me for me and I have been wanting to try more of the recipes. A friend recommended some recipes from it, so I got it off my shelf and now I have a whole bunch of recipes flagged to try.<br>

386. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
387. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I got the recipe off of twopeasandtheirpod.com, not following it fully as I never do and didn't have all the ingredients available..</span><br />
388. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
389. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So what you'll need is:</span><br />
390. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2/3 cup sugar</span><br />
391. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Grated zest and juice of one lemon (The lemon I used was too squishy and I wasn't to grate it so no zest for me..)</span><br />
392. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 cups of Flour (this I sifted so it's nice and fluffy)</span><br />
393. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 teaspoons baking powder</span><br />
394. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1/4 teaspoon baking soda</span><br />
395. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1/4 teaspoon salt </span><br />
396. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3/4 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt (I used greek yogurt)</span><br />
397. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 large eggs (not sure mine were large, then again I do live in Europe and the sizes tend to be smaller here)</span><br />
398. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract</span><br />
399. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">113 grams unsalted butter</span><br />
400. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 tablespoons poppy seeds</span><br />
401. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
402. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
403. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First off you're meant to mix the sugar with the zest, obviously that didn't work for me so I just mixed all the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt) together in one bowl and all the wet ones (melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, greek yogurt and lemon juice) in another. WAIT with the POPPY SEEDS!! </span><br />
404. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

408. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
409. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
410. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then I added the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and mixed those together, when that was done I added the two spoons of poppy seeds and dished them out into the baking tray (I used cupcake cups as I don't have a baking tray spray thing) then I shoved them into the oven and voila.</span><br />

474. I got the inspiration for this recipe from one of the numerous vegetarian cookbooks we got out of the library. This cookbook is- The vegetarian's complete quinoa cookbook, edited by Marilyn Smith. Woke up a bit early one day, and was feeling inspired from Juliet's blueberry muffins and decided to make these. They were so quick to make, they were done before Juliet even woke up. Somehow banging pots and pans around, or even using a blender to make smoothies, does not wake her! I wish I were such a heavy sleeper!  The recipe called for pure pumpkin, but I actually had real pumpkin that I had made a while back and frozen- do I win some Martha Stewart points or what? </div>

478. Another ingredient you might not have on hand is quinoa flour, which can be bought at bulk barn or your local health food store.</div>
479. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

509. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
510. - Preheat oven to 375 F and line a muffin tin with wrappers</div>
511. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

561. This dip is great with pita chips or corn chips!<br>
562. <br>
563. I visited C and S for the weekend and of course we cooked and baked up a storm :)  Thanks to my amazing hosts who spoiled me rotten. We had a great time, cooking, eating, eating some more, shopping, swimming, playing board games,   playing corn hole, and falling asleep in front of the TV!  We also saw a live version of Rocky Horror..or at least part of it.. I had never seen it, and it was pretty scandalous, and strange..<br>
564. <br>
565.  C cooks and bakes a lot and always forgets to take photos so up until now I haven't been able to feature anything on the blog. C whipped up this recipe in no time at all and it is so addictive. The recipe is modified from Canadian Living.<br>

569. Well, it's Friday, gorgeous and sunny here in Ottawa with great weather predicted for the weekend- what could be better? I am also a mere 3.5 work days away from my vacation, a lil trip across the pond, and spending some quality time with my family!<br>
570. <br>
571. I made these cookies because I was hungry and was craving something sweet. Its a good trick. Don't keep cookies in the house and then if you want some, you have to want them badly enough to make them! They were really moist, chewy and got rave reviews from my tester ;)<br>
572. <br>
573. I adapted a recipe for Rocky Road cookies from The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook, by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. An oldie but goodie, and frankly all recipes from there turn out well. No clue why they called them that, they a re not really rocky road. I read the recipe through and it said it made 100 small cookies, or 50 large cookies. Woah!!! Even as an admitted cookie monster, I don't need that many cookies so I cut the recipe in half. If you are baking for more people, just double the recipe.<br>

580.  I found this recipe in <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chocolate-hazelnut-macaroons-recipe/index.html" target="_blank">Food Network Magazine</a>, it looks like there are a lot of steps but it is actually not too bad. Great little baking project for a rainy Sunday afternoon. They would make a great treat for colleagues or for a bake sale. Most people I shared them with really liked them- even D one of the pickiest eaters  I know  " I wasn't expecting to, but I really liked them". Emily and I weren't that crazy about the filling inside-  intense dark chocolate flavour- so if that's not your thing, feel free to make just the meringue parts without the filling, or just use nutella instead!<br>

613. Amazing!!!!! they don't taste exactly like carrot cake, but they are healthy, flavorful and yummy. I found this recipe on <a href="http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/">http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/</a> and adapted it slightly. My friend L was over and helped me, and we had a lot of fun making them.<br>

629. I know some of you will be super excited to see this recipe!! When I lived with Keldi, she made these little quiches for book clubs, and entertaining. They were delicious. I loved them and could easily eat about 5 of them in one sitting. Possibly more. On one occasion, someone ate nearly 10 at a poker night. There's something about them that's highly addictive. The shells can be made from scratch, or bought. You can probably guess that I did the latter.<br>

655. I'm sorry I haven't posted any recipes in a while. I have been completely caught up in running, being tired from running, and work events to be trying a lot of new recipes. My marathon is in 1 week from tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous for it!!<br />
656. <br />
657. I found this recipe on pinterest (through cookeatshare.com)  a while back and went out and bought some pillsbury dough ( if you are like Martha Stewart, you can make your own). I kept putting it off until I was nearing the expiry date on the dough so decided that yesterday was as good a time as any to make it. When you first read the recipe it seems a bit complicated but it's a lot easier then it looks.<br />
658. <br />
659. Ingredients:<br />
660. - pillsbury dough- either french bread or biscuit<br />
661. - 1/2 stick butter<br />
662. - 1 cup of sugar<br />
663. - 2 tsp cinnamon<br />
664. -1/2 tsp nutmeg<br />
665. <br />
666. Directions<br />
667. -Preheat oven to 350<br />
668. -Melt butter on the stove, over medium low heat until browned (about 5 minutes or until you smell a nutty flavour)<br />
669. -mix sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl<br />
670. - cut dough into thin slices (about 32) and then spread each piece out on a cutting board or baking sheet. press down to flatten. Brush each piece with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar<br />
671. - stack dough into piles of of 5 or 6 pieces and then cut each pile down the center<br />
672. -place 2 of the sliced half stacks side by side in a (greased or silicone) muffin tin, cut side down. repeat with all the stacks<br />
673. - bake for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden brown (be sure to place muffin tin on top of a baking sheet in case the butter/sugar bubble over)<br />
674. - sprinkle with lemon juice if desired!<br />
675. <br />

688. I've been looking for healthy snack ideas, and this one is nutritious and substantial. Hopefully it is also filling and will help me avoid the usual scenario where one snack leads to another and before I know it, I've eaten an apple, a piece of cheese, a yogurt, a chocolate..etc etc. Recipe is from <i>Power Foods</i> (I know, I am obsessed- I won't even try and deny it at this point).</div>

726. -Preheat oven to 400F. Cut tofu into about 4 sheets, and then put on a baking sheet on top of paper towels. Cover with more paper towels, and then place another baking sheet and some cans or cookbooks (anything heavy). leave to drain for 30 minutes. </div>

728. -Once drained, cut tofu into smaller squares, and place in a bowl with 1/2 tsp sesame oil, sesame seeds and 1/4 tsp salt. toss to combine. Place tofu in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until brown and crispy.

757. [Obviously] I got the recipe from <em>Power Foods.</em> I adapted it slightly to make it lighter, by reducing the oil. <br />
758. <br />
759. <u>Ingredients:</u><br />
760. 1 cup dried green or yellow split peas<br />
761. 3 cups water<br />
762. 2 teaspoons sesame oil<br />
763. 2 teaspoons canola oil<br />
764. coarse salt<br />
765. <br />
766. <u>Directions</u><br />
767. Place split peas in a large bowl;add the water and cover bowl with plastic wrap. let soak at room temperature until softened, 4 to 5 hours.<br />
768. <br />
769. Drain split peas and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of each oil. Add half the peas and cook, stirring frequently, until the begin to turn brown in spots and become crunchy, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet or plate. Season with 1/4 tsp salt or to taste. Repeat with remaining oil and peas. Let cool before serving.

785. As promised, here are some more recipes from Daniele's delicious Mediterrenean night. Daniele loves hummus and has been experimenting with different flavours. I have tried a few variations as well including spicy, red pepper, pine nuts, and the latest that she introduced me to Garam Massala. It is such a healthy, flavourful protein filled snack. We thought it might be fun to try and make our own. My friend (and former roomie) Keldi used to make her own hummus and it was tasty and seemed easy easy enough. I've also had delicious homemade hummus courtesey of my Lebanese friend Tania and her family. I still remember when she brought a huge tupperware filled to a cottage for us to feast on. yumm <br />

849. My friend Carolyn emailed me after I posted my last <a href="http://doubletroublekitchenedition.blogspot.ca/2012/03/homemade-granola-bars.html" target="_blank">granola bar</a> recipe and said that if I enjoyed those I would definitely enjoy these from <i>eatingwell</i>. They are a different type of granola bar as you don't bake it all together. You bake the oats  and almonds, and heat the sticky ingredients (almond butter, honey etc) and then just put it in a brownie pan and into the fridge to harden. These bars are fruitty tasting and filled with nutritious ingredients (good option for non chocoholics).  They are quite thick, substantial and filling. </div>

902. I was intrigued by a recipe I saw on Kristin's blog for <a href="http://cookingandschoolwork.blogspot.com/2012/03/lemon-blueberry-chocolate-chip-muffins.html" target="_blank">Lemon and Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins</a> that incorporated <strong>lentils</strong> into the recipe. I will likely try out that muffin recipe soon. From K's site I was lead to the <a href="http://www.lentils.ca/" target="_blank">lentils</a> website that has lots of recipes with lentils. I was attracted to this granola bar recipe and decided I would try it. Due to my longer runs, I am constantly hungry these days and want to be sure I have healthy snacks I can eat throughout the day. I have never made granola bars before, I felt they were too complicated/sticky to make. These were really easy and better then any granola bar i've ever bought.<br />
903. You actually can't even taste the lentils.<br />
904. <br />
905. <u>health benefits of lentils</u>: Lentils are high in fiber and complex carbohydrates, while low in fat and calories. They are naturally gluten-free, exceptionally low glycemic index, and have a high protein content.<br />
