December 15, 2011December 17, 2011 Tom

These are addictive…healthy, crunchy and deliciously addictive…and very easy to make. All you do is:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Drain one 15 oz can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
Rinse with water and dry thoroughly with paper towels
Toss the dried garbanzos with 1Â½ Tbsps of olive oil
Roast on a sheet pan for 25-35 minutes until the beans are golden brown and crunchy (start checking at 20 minutes)
Sprinkle with salt and whatever spices you like (try a little cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder…Spicy!)
Let cool and serve…Simply delicious!

Tip of the Day – Freeze Your Leftover Wine

December 15, 2011December 15, 2011 Tom

Don’t you just hate to open an entire bottle of wine when you only need a cup or so for a recipe? Next time you have any left over wine (as unlikely as that may be) freeze it in ice cube trays. When frozen, put the cubes in a freezer bag, and the next time you have a recipe that calls for wine, just grab as many cubes as you need and add them to your dish.
