High-Fiber Quick Snack featuring Chickpeas and Chocolate. Mmm!
Air-fryer crunchy roasted chickpeas are a perfect anytime snack, or topping for salads, soups, and curries. They are super easy to make, tasty, and nutritious! I’m a big fan of chickpeas. They are a very versatile legume that can be sweet or savory depending on your preferences. I’m typically mixing them with peanut butter into a Chickpea Cookie Dough, using them as a secret ingredient in Chickpea Blondies, or adding them to a smoothie for extra fiber. This winter I’ve found more and more reasons to incorporate crunchy chickpeas as the ‘crunch’ on a salad. They go soooo well with Kale Caesar! Whether you’re adding these little gems to a meal or simply indulging as a snack, these Air-Fried Crunchy Chickpeas are so easy! I like them way better than many of the store bought crunchy snacks because I prefer to use Olive Oil or Avocado Oil and avoid inflammatory seed oils. Related: AIP-Lemon Coconut Balls Most often, I’m using savory chili spice, harissa seasoning, or taco seasoning. However, you can make a sweet treat with cinnamon and maple syrup, too! Chickpeas are low in fat, high in fiber, have a bit of protein, and contain micronutrients like magnesium and potassium. HOW TO MAKE AIR-FRYER CRUNCHY CHICKPEAS: Prepare the chickpeas. I’ve had great luck cooking dried chickpeas in my Instant Pot. However, you can also used canned chickpeas. You’ll want to rinse and drain the chickpeas. Lay them flat and gently pat dry to absorb the excess moisture. Season them up. You’ll need about a tablespoon of oil and a tablespoon of spices. Chili spice works great, Cinnamon makes a sweeter treat, or a combination of the two makes a really interesting Sweet-Spicy mix. Cook in the Air-Fryer until crunchy. I find that about 14 mins at the ‘high’ function of 390 degrees is perfect. Make sure to shake the basket often to prevent burning. If you don’t have an air-fryer you CAN make these in the oven. Simply roast on a baking sheet at 425 for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently. ((I LOVE MY AIR-FRYER: SHOP MY FAVE)) Storage note: Once cooled, keep these in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. I find that when kept in the fridge they get a little too soft. I prefer a mason jar in the pantry; but they rarely last too long before I eat them all up! Make an Easy, Quick Topping or Snack with Air-Fryer Crunchy Chickpeas!

Moroccan Roasted Carrot and Grain Salad is a seasonal meal packed with flavor. The roasted vegetables, citrusy dressing, and crunchy chickpeas are married with warming spice to help balance yin/yang. I’m learning a lot about eating patterns rooted in Chinese medicine. A big focus of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is protecting ‘Qi’, which can be thought of as internal energy. In our modern eating environment, we can easily tip this out of balance due to food availability and preferences. We can go to the grocery store and get virtually any food at any time of the year. Instead, TCM teaches about eating seasonally. This means not only choosing foods which are in season, but considering the natural environment as well (weather). A big component of that is eating more warming foods during the winter: roasted/steamed vegetables, spices, and hearty grains. By keeping the stomach and spleen closer to the optimal temperature of 100 degrees, you are better able to digest and absorb the nutrients. That is, you expend less energy in the assimilation process. Side note: Individual constitution is a big component of food choice. If you struggle with poor digestion, hormone imbalance, mood disorders, or other symptoms, I recommend working with a nutritionist or qualified TCM practitioner for a customized food protocol. Related: Air-Fryer Crunchy Chickpeas If you’ve been around for a while, you know I LOVE a big hearty salad. I tend to use lots of cold, raw veggies in my epic salads. As I lean more into eating to protect my Qi, I’m finding I do a lot better with cooked foods. To answer my cravings for a massive salad, I made this Vegan Moroccan Roasted Carrot + Grain Salad. The spices (chili, cumin, turmeric, and harissa) are themselves on the warm/hot spectrum. Adding roasted vegetables, a hearty grain, and gently cooked greens completes the meal to align with the seasonal pattern. HOW TO MAKE MOROCCAN ROASTED CARROT + GRAIN SALAD: Make the seasoning blend. I used chili powder, turmeric, cumin, harissa, and sea salt for the perfect warming mix. You’ll use this to season the roasted vegetables, grain, and in the dressing for a bit of kick. Make the dressing. For the easiest dressing, add all the ingredients to a blender and mix until creamy. I prefer olive oil, fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh garlic gloves, and tahini. However, you can substitute the garlic cloves for garlic powder and use a different citrus in place of orange. Roast the chickpeas. I make my crunchy roasted chickpeas ahead of time in the air-fryer. Get my recipe here. For this salad, I used the moroccan spice blend on my chickpeas. Roast the vegetables. I looove roasted carrots, but I also had some purple cauliflower on hand so I roasted that up as well. You can use any combination here: brussels sprouts or broccoli would also be great substitutions. Prepare the grain. If quinoa isn’t your thing, use buckwheat, rice, or farro. Cook the grain according to package instructions (or use your instant pot!), and season with extra moroccan spice after cooking. Dress it up and plate it beautifully. Don’t skip the aesthetic step! Food tastes better when it looks pleasing to the eye. I prefer to dress my greens ahead of time, and gently warm them on the stove. Then, add an extra drizzle of Orange-Tahini Dressing and a wedge of orange to complete the plate. Change things up: Use this salad as a basic template. It works with any vegetables you have on hand to roast, any green, and any grain. Other suitable toppings can be Roasted Nuts, Chopped Medjool Dates, or Raisins! My favorite canned chickpeas and spices are from Thrive Market. I can find organic, canned chickpeas and bulk spices at a great price. I always stock up in my Thrive Market boxes!

It’s the superbowl! Again. It always sneaks up on me. Let’s be honest, as soon as Fantasy Football season ends… I kinda give up on watching football. BUT, I’m revived around the first weekend of February. Mostly by the cloy of superbowl snacks. Of course, I’m always finding ways to make them just a little healthier. Just because something is made with real ingredients doesn’t make it any less TASTY. One of my favorite things to serve on Superbowl Sunday is a grazing board with lots of fresh cut veggies, gluten-free crackers, grain-free chips and all kinds of dips! Here are three of my favorite HEALTHY Game Day Dips… 1 – Simple Guacamole Guacamole is a staple in my house. It goes on salads, taco bowls, toast, and of course as a main snack with Siete Chips. For the Superbowl, I keep it simple and mild to appease the crowd. Here’s what’s in it: Avocado, Lime, Shallot, Cilantro, and Sea Salt. Why Shallot? It’s a perfect middle ground between red onion and garlic. So, no complaints on my guacamole being “too garlicky” and no complaints on “onion breath”. Plus, it’s a lot easier to chop into teeny tiny pieces so you get a bit in every bite. I don’t put tomato in my guacamole. It doesn’t belong. That’s what salsa is for. 2 – Dairy-Free Spinach Artichoke Dip Mmmmm. This one is a good one. I make my Spinach Artichoke Dip with Willa’s Organic Oat Milk to keep it dairy-free but still super creamy like the traditional version. Your friends will have no idea how healthy it is! >>Get the Full Recipe Details Here: Dairy-Free Spinach Artichoke Dip<< 3 – Classic Homemade Hummus Hummus is a sneaky healthy food! Chickpeas are loaded with fiber, a small amount of protein, and micronutrients. My homemade hummus made with Tahini (Sesame Seed Butter), Olive Oil, and Garlic. I add Greek Yogurt based on a recipe from The Gaza Kitchen, but this is optional. For presentation, leave a few whole chickpeas and a sprinkle of paprika and chili flakes on top. I serve hummus with fresh carrots, cucumber slices, and seed-based crackers like Mary’s Gone. >>Get The Full Recipe Details Here: Easy Homemade Hummus<< Pulling It Together: Game Day Dips + Snacks To pull it all together make sure you have a variety of fresh cut vegetables. I like carrots, celery, snap peas, baby bell peppers, and jicama– they all stand up well to dipping! I also purchase some crunchy snacks. Be sure to read ingredient labels carefully and avoid canola oil or other seed oils. Instead, look for Organic Tortilla Chips made using Olive, Coconut, or Avocado Oil. For crackers, I look for gluten-free crackers. My favorite brands are Simple Mills and Mary’s Gone. These dips make a good spread, but finish it out with other sides like Air-Fried Chicken Wings (soooo much healthier than restaurant-style), Paleo Buffalo Chicken Dip, Festive Deviled Eggs, and Roasted Shishito Peppers! Now I wanna know, What are your go-to Game Day Dips + Snacks? Are any real veggies gonna make the table? Any ventures into the gluten-free dairy-free realm?

It’s so frustrating to deal with acne, especially as an adult. Trust me, I’ve been there. You think you’re doing everything right with a cleansing regimen and minimal makeup, but those pesky bumps are still popping up. Often, skin issues aren’t solved with merely topical solutions. We have to start on the INSIDE. What are you putting in your body (intentionally or unintentionally) that could be contributing to acne? The gold standard for addressing food sensitivities is a full-blown Elimination Diet. You’ll systematically take away common trigger foods and slowly add them back in to watch for reoccurrence of symptoms. It takes time, but it’s worth the investigation. If you’re short on time or not quite ready to commit to an Elimination Diet, here are a few simple food swaps for clear skin. Related: Mindful Eating: Finding a Healthy Relationship with Food 5 Simple Food Swaps for Clear Skin… 1 – Swap Dairy Milk for Oat Milk There are a number of potential triggers in dairy including lactose (a milk sugar) and whey or casein protein (the two main proteins). Cow’s milk can spike blood sugar and insulin levels, increasing inflammation in the body. Commercial dairy products potentially contain added hormones that encourage sebum production. Instead, choose a non-dairy substitute like coconut milk or oat milk. Be careful to choose an unsweetened option with no added oils! As good as it may taste, the extra sugar is also linked to acne. <<Kate’s Fave: Click here to learn about Willa’s Oat Milk>> 2 – Swap Soy for Legumes Soy contains a high amount of inflammatory omega-6 fats. These fats increase redness and swelling, and can cause hormone imbalance when consumed in excess. Read ingredient lists carefully, as soy is hidden in so many processed food products! For a better plant-based protein, choose legumes or lentils. Chickpeas are one of my favorites- packed with fiber, protein, and vitamins. Plus, they are super versatile for sweet and savory dishes alike. ((Here’s my go-to hummus recipe)) 3 – Swap Coffee for Tea Most conventional coffee is contaminated with mycotoxin (a mold that grows on beans). When our liver encounters this toxin, it must work on detoxifying it first, leaving you vulnerable to recirculation of other toxins and hormones. Further, caffeine can take a toll on our adrenal glands (and increase stress hormone). More cortisol = more inflammation. For a healthy warm drink, try matcha or green tea. The epi-gallo-catechin-gallate (EGCG) in green tea is a powerful antioxidant and phytonutrient. >>Skip The Rest and Check out The ELIMINATION DIET GUIDE<< 4 – Swap Peanut Butter for Seeds Hold your horses, I know this is a tough one. Peanuts contain a high amount of the same inflammatory omega-6 oils as soy. Further, many commercial peanut butters are made with hydrogenated oils like corn, safflower, or soybean. A better option for clear skin is a seed-based butter like Sunflower Butter. Always look for seed butters that contain very simple ingredients: just seeds, no oils, no sugar! My favorite is from Thrive Market. 5 – Swap Sugar for Stevia, Honey, or Maple Syrup. High sugar consumption is linked to a number of diseases. If you’re dealing with acne, this is one of the first foods to completely eliminate from your diet. Refined sugar is pro-inflammatory and increases the likelihood of outward manifestations of inflammation (read: acne). If you have a sweet tooth, enjoy the natural sweetness of fruits. In my opinion, a medjool date stuffed with sunflower butter and sprinkled with sea salt tastes better and more satisfying than a candy bar. For drinks like coffee and tea, I use liquid stevia. Natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup are also a better-for-you choice for your skin health. Ultimately, it’s clear (pun intended) that skin health starts from the inside out. The food we eat literally becomes us: so what are you choosing to be made of? Always, a nutrient-dense diet with plenty of fiber, colorful vegetables, and adequate protein is the foundation. From there, begin to explore what foods might be triggering symptoms using an Elimination Diet or Simple Food Swaps for clear skin.

Brain health is the foundation for some of today’s most prevalent health concerns, including memory, focus and other cognitive functionds; mood and behavior; stress and anxiousness; and sleep issues. Daniel G. Amen, MD uses the BRIGHTMINDS mnemonic as a way of organizing 11 major risk factors that threaten brain health. Here’s the breakdown of the BRIGHTMINDS Risk Factors: B – Blood flow This includes poor circulation, poor blood pressure control, lack of exercise, and sedentary lifestyle. We can support bloodflow nutritionally with arginine-rich foods like beets, turkey, chicken, beef, salmon, watermelon, and spinach. Vitamin C rich foods also support healthy circulation and include cherries, citrus fruits, kiwi, bell peppers, and broccoli. R – Retirement and/or Aging Age is an inherent risk factor in diminishing brain health; but it is heightened when individuals over 65 are working less than half-time, limiting new learning, or expereincing social isolation. Antioxidant rich foods like blueberries, cacao, acai, pomegranate, walnuts, and oregano can be helpful. Also, choline-rich foods support acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter and include eggs, chicken, turkey, beef, chickpeas, and lentils. I – Inflammation I’ve written loads about inflammation. It can be exacerbated by poor gut health and low antioxidant or omega-3 intake. Therefore, probiotic-boosting foods like kimchi, saurkraut, kefir, and pickles as well as prebiotic-rich foods can help support microbiome balance. Prebiotics can be found in chia seeds, beans, cabbage, psyllium, artichokes and root vegetables. The omega-3 rich foods to include are salmon, sardines, walnuts, and avocado. Further, spices like turmeric and saffron can boost antioxidant status. G – Genetics There is certainly a genetic component to neurological dysfunction. A close family member with memory issues is a sign that you need to be very careful with your environment and lifestyle as you age. As they say, “Genetics load the gun, but environment pulls the trigger” meaning just because you are predisposed to a disease does not mean it will manifest if you priortize your health. One way to do so is including polyphenol-rich foods like dark chocolate, green tea, blueberries, apples, and sage. H- Head trauma The ‘head trauma’ risk factor is defined as one or more concussions and/or any change to senses, including loss of smell. With any history of brain injury, we consider high-dose fish oil, and consumption of fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel. T- Toxins Toxins can refer to any number of exogenous chemicals that have a deleterious effect in the body and impact brain health. Often, it comes down to load: how much can your body handle before you see symptoms? Toxins include alcohol, drugs, smoking, pollution, mold, and personal care products. In order to support liver health (detoxification), eat brassica vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and bok choy. To support kidney health, adequate hydration, beets, and citrus are helpful. To support the gut, plenty of fiber. M – Mental Health This one is almost a “gimme” as a risk factor for brain problems. However, unaddressed stress, emotions, and mood disorders certainly contribute to further brain inflammation and dysfunction. It’s best to support the brain neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin with high-quality proteins, leafy greens, spices, and mineral-rich nuts and seeds. For more specifics about eating for your mental health, see Eating for Mental Health. I – Immunity With immunity, we think of autoimmune conditions as a particular challenge for exacerbating likelihood of brain issues. Brain fog and mental impairment go hand-in-hand with immune challenges due to systemic inflammation. Often, a specific protocol is needed for addressing the root cause of the autoimmune disease. However, for natural immune supporting foods you can include allicin-rich foods like garlic, onions, and shallots; Vitamin D rich foods like fatty fish, mushrooms, and grass-fed beef liver; and zinc-rich foods like oysters and pumpkin seeds. N – Neurohormones Our hormone systems are directed by our brain (without the help of exogenous drugs, like birth control). This includes our thyroid hormones, our sex hormones, and our adrenal hormones. Any imbalance in these systems can increase the likelihood of poor brain health and symptoms. Specific estrogen-boosting foods include fiber, flaxseeds, beans, yams, and licorice. Testosterone-boosting foods are pomegranate, olive oil, oysters, coconut, Brassica vegetables, and garlic. Thyroid health relies on selenium-rich seaweed and brazil nuts; as well as roots like maca. D – “Diabesity” Yes, you read that right. “Diabesity” is a catch-all term to include metabolic syndrome associated with poor blood-sugar control and being overweight. Because of its association with metabolic issues, Alzheimer’s Disease is sometimes referred to as “Type III Diabetes“. To address the impending crisis of Type II Diabetes (leading to TypeIII), at-risk individuals should focus on low-glycemic, high-fiber, nutrient-rich foods. Protein and fat at each meal can help stabilize blood sugar and cravings. S – Sleep The sleep risk factor includes poor quality sleep, sleep issues (snoring, sleep apnea), as well as the use of sleeping pills or other medications. There are some foods that can help with getting better quality sleep, such as tart cherry juice, walnuts, and ginger. However, improving sleep often needs more of a lifestyle intervention than a nutrition intervention. I like this podcast by The Huberman Lab with Dr. Matthew Walker, author of Why We Sleep. What are the Key Nutrients in Maintaining Brain Health? While the BRIGHTMINDS breakdown of risk factors is helpful for specific issues. There are certain key nutrients to include in your diet to maintain brain health for the longterm. Download my Brain Health Meal Plan which has the following features: Healthy Fats Good quality fats are associated with a lower risk of developing dementia. This plan is rich in monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat from olive oil, avocado, salmon, nuts, and seeds. It is lower in saturated fat, meats, and dairy products. Olive oil is the main source of fat and contains tocopherols, polyphenols, and a balanced linoleic/alpha-linolenic acid profile, which is beneficial for the immune system and inflammatory responses. Antioxidants The antioxidants in berries are thought to benefit brain function by protecting the brain from oxidative stress. Berries reduce inflammation that would
Homemade Hummus is a comfort food. No debate. Sure, store-bought hummus is a quick option, but I’m here to change your mind: homemade hummus is EASY, QUICK, CHEAP and miiiiiiiiiles above any store-bought brand. I’ve adapted this recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks lately, The Gaza Kitchen. I love a cookbook that goes beyond recipes and gets into history, cooking methods, and lifestyle of the area it highlights. THIS is that book. Hummus is most simply a blend of chickpeas and tahini (sesame seed butter). However, adding acid from citrus and spices elevate this into the creamy, comforting spread we can’t get enough of. I like mixing things up with different add-ins to get variety from batch to batch. Related: Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Perfect Bars One of my favorite aspects of hummus is that it is so versatile. It’s divine as a dip with raw veggies, naan bread, and chips; but it can also be used as a spread, a dressing, and as a sauce for pasta and stir-fry. My foundation for good homemade hummus starts with these ingredients: -Chickpeas -Tahini (also called Tahina) -Lemon Juice -Olive Oil -Greek Yogurt -Garlic, Salt I will then ‘dress it up’ with various add-ins: -Paprika -Za’atar -Sundried Tomatoes -Cilantro, Basil, or Parsley The quality of ingredients you choose will make or break your homemade hummus. I like checking local Mediterranean markets for red tahina paste. If that isn’t an option check World Market for high-quality Tahini. I buy organic chickpeas from Thrive Market. You can use cooked, canned chickpeas or take an extra step to soak and pressure cook dried chickpeas. For a dairy-free option, you can leave out the Greek Yogurt. The texture will be a bit less creamy, but still a step above store bought blends. Replace the yogurt with aquafaba to get your desired consistency. Sometimes I’ll leave a few whole chickpeas for topping (plus a decadent extra drizzle of olive oil) and sometimes I’ll blend them all in. This is more for presentation and aesthetics— always a concern in my cooking. Serve hummus warm or cold, it’ll keep in the refrigerator for several days. I order my ingredients from Thrive Market. I find shelf-stable products at cheaper than grocery stores. The AIP-filter is awesome for navigating a tricky diet!
