Update on the saving plan

[vass]

I decided to let the diet Coke go until May. But I started the vegie hot dogs vs chickpeas thing right away. Last night I soaked a full kilo of dry chickpeas, and early this morning (yeah, I need to see my sleep psychologist) I put them in the crockpot. They are now fully cooked, and sitting on the kitchen bench in their cleaned-out takeaway containers, waiting to cool down so they can go in the fridge. Unfortunately, one cup of chickpeas has three times the carb content of one serve of two hot dogs. I will have to deal with that. They’re much lower in sodium, which would be great if I were monitoring my sodim intake.

I have visions of hoummus dancing in my head.

Mmmmm, chickpeas. :D And yes, carbs, BUT! They also have protein, zinc, folate, lots of fiber, and they're low in fat! \o/

I need to find a good recipe for hummus. I love that stuff, but I really should learn to make it myself instead of buying it.

This recipe's my fave. SO TASTY. Not for the garlic-shy, though!
