When I saw this recipe on Heatherbakes recently I almost died. I LOVE chickpeas (um, call me captain obvious). But – Ben doesn’t like them 🙁 He does however, LOVE eggs. So, when I saw this combination I knew I had a winner. The original recipe is in the latest Food Network magazine. This edition is all about eggs. Since…

I have been wanting to try Maca powder for a while. It is a root grown in the Peruvian Andes that has been said to have numerous health benefits.
