Watermelon Refresher

This is actually a recipe that my 10 year old showed me and really wanted to make.  It is delicious, especially for a hot day.

Watermelon Refresher:

Cubed watermelon

Coconut water

Cascade Ice flavored water

 

 

Cube watermelon and fill up a single serving blender cup.  Add a small amount of coconut water. Just eye it but it's about 1/4 cup.

 

 Blend until all the watermelon is pureed.

 

Add some ice to a glass and pour about half way up with a Cascade Ice flavored water of choice.  London and I used coconut and Jaxson used watermelon/blueberry flavor.

Pour pureed watermelon mixture in the glass and enjoy. Simply Delicious

Roasted Chickpeas

I haven't been able to blog lately due to picky electronic issues I have been experiencing.  I'm hoping it's fixed.  This is a delicious recipe to be able to share.  I found this recipe through an instagram account and what a delicious snack.

Roasted Chickpeas:

1 can chickpeas (drained)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Spices of choice

*I used pepper, salt, garlic powder and tumeric

Bake @ 370 degrees for 30-40 minutes

 

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and then pat dry them between two towels.

 

Add the chickpeas, olive oil and spices of choice to a ziploc bag and massage to spread the oil and spices evenly.  There isn't a measurement for the spices just add an amount to your liking.

 

After the spices are spread evenly, empty the contents in the bag on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and spread out in a single layer.

 

Cook in a preheated oven for 20 minutes and then stir them around and cook for another 20 minutes.

 

After they are done cooking let them sit on the cookie sheet a little longer to crisp up a little more. Then place them in an air-tight container for 3-5 days. Simply Delicious
