Healthy Snack Idea: Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas | Happy Healthy Mama While there is nothing I can do to make this snack look pretty, please believe me when I say that looks are very, very deceiving. I’m always looking for new snacking ideas. I really love snacks. Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas Inspired by Woman’s Day magazine 2 (15 ounce) cans of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed 2 tablespoons olive oil juice from 1/2 a lemon (~ 1 1/2 tablespoons) 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup grated parmesan After you have rinsed and drained your chickpeas, spread them out on a paper towel to dry. Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet. Meghan is going through one of her pickiest stages ever. What about you?

Please be sure to check out my Real Food tab at the top to find more slow cooker freezer meals!

Like I mentioned in my post the other week, the last time I did a big cooking day, I had a big ah-ha moment. Although, I had a blast with Lauren, it was logistically very difficult to accomplish. So this latest big cooking day, I did it by myself and only did slow cooker recipes. Basically, all I was did was chop vegetables and assemble ingredients. Even with doing it this way, it was still a 3 hour affair, but during this time I was able to finish all the cooking AND the cleaning. I chopped all the vegetables with Penelope in her Learning Tower before nap, which was really fun. I just dumped the veggies into the gallon sized ziploc bags, then added the meat, then added the spices.
