Also for people who need to eat for managing diabetes, you will want to use basmati rice as it is the lowest on the gylcemic index.... or, cook your rice the day before and allow to fridge overnight. This technique increases the resistant starch content which helps feed your good gut microbes and it doesn't get digested and converted to sugar 👌💯🙏

Great information! I wish you didn’t have so many screen changes bc it’s harder to focus on the great information 😵‍💫. I had to turn off. Keep up the great work and information!

[normalopez]

Good morning! so grateful to have found this YouTube channel.

[darlenebradley]

Stmbled on this video yesterday...and very timely! Someone gave me a CASE of canned chickpeas and I have been struggling to find something to make with them, besides humus or putting them on a salad. Thanks for the suggestions!

[barbaralindberg]

You popped up this morning to help me celebrate Cinco de Mayo! You are lovely and your voice is nurturing. I’m soooo excited. I attempted hummus three times in 2009 when I bought my vitamix. It was horrible. I’m going to try all of these recipes. Beautiful kitchen too. You brightened my day beautiful lady. Thank you!!🙏 😊

[cindystrother]

Thank you so much for putting your awesome recipes in the description box for people like me who cannot cook THANK YOU so Much

[monacannon]

My family loves chicpea tuna. I can't wait to try the hummus and brownie recipe. Thanks for sharing.

[normalopez]

OMG! Thank you thank you thank you for adding the recipes for us!!!!

[susang]

OMG the “tuna” was fabulous! Thank you. At first I made it without the furikake and it was OK, but still had some left by the time furikake arrived, so I added it in. Wow, what a difference! Yum!

[rozchristopherson]

I also add some Old Bay seasoning to my chickpea mock tuna. Helps add seafood flavor.

Hello sis

I love tuning into your channel.
The curry chickpea dish was one I tried.
I’m a developing vegetarian ( new cancer survivor) 😊

I added my own twist to it ( baby Lima beans)
Omg… it it so delicious
Thanks for all your tips and the awesome recipes to incorporate into this new path of healthy eating I must master
I was hoping to send photo
Oh, I will try to post it on my page

[cindyjones]

I tried the brownie recipe. Since I have a peanut allergy, I substituted half the amount of sunflower butter. #1 We could not taste the chickpeas. #2 We could not taste the sunflower butter. #3 BEST BROWNIES ever since going gluten Thank you, thank you!! P.S. I substituted carob for the chocolate, both in powder and chips. It still tasted chocolatey!!!

[lauwilliams-hnqs]

Really love how simple each one of these dishes are to make! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[joytoyouandme]

Try buying dried chickpeas, much lower in cost than canned and nothing to recycle. I pop them in the instant pot and they are ready within 30 minutes or less. Makes a good amount! Then I divide up what I’m not using right away and pop it in the freezer. Very handy for a quick meal or some hummus. I also love to add Kalamata olives to my hummus….. yummy

[gymgirllja]

The very first time I made hummus, I shopped for the Tahini. At $14.99 for the bottle to only use 2 Tsps., I opted to substitute good old Peanut Butter instead. It was delicious!

I have NEVER used Tahini in hummus. And, I choose "Don't ask, don't tell."

[dorothylee]

Yes nutritional yeast is very good I use it on many foods ❤

[jovoorheescollinsmphbsnbch]

Love your style, you have an excellent camera charisma 😃 I'm now subscribed 👌
I am a public health and diabetes Educator and I will be referring patients to your channel to learn how to incorporate more plants into their nutrition 🙏❤️

[wnntlly]

I will definitely be making the chickpea brownies!!!
