My Creative Space


If a picture paints a thousand words then this picture would have tell of little angels with trumpets singing a chorus of 'allelugh', while fireworks explode in the background. Why? Because I baked something and it actually worked!!!! It is not burnt AND it tastes good. You might remember a few days ago I told you about how terrible I am in the kitchen. Well I cracked out my new cook book today, Holly and I made these chickpea and chocolate chip cookies. Sounds like an odd combination eh? But they actually taste really nice- kinda nutty. Best of all, my little picky eater wanted seconds.

For more creative genius pop over here.

  2. Good for you! I'm glad you didn't give up trying to bake. I'd love that recipe if it's available. What a clever idea to put chickpeas in a cookie!

  3. It does indeed sound like an unusual combination! But sometimes it's the recipes that sound unusual that are actually the best. Yum! x

  4. I've always had an aversion to chickpeas - maybe this recipe would convert me, though!

  5. Truth is always stranger than fiction - I love grated carrot, salad and peanut butter sandwiches on Vogels. Perhaps my family will believe they are actually rather good now I know there is an actual cookbook in print that uses chickpeas and chocolate in the same recipe! Yah for seconds :)

  9. Wow, that sounds like a great recipe Lou! They look amazing. I can almost smell them from here! If you want another easy recipe, try my Aunty Peggy's fruit loaf. It's in the recipe section of my blog. Made it again yesterday. Yum!

  14. They look delicious! Funny, I just tried a chocolate cake made with chickpeas -- so yummy. A great secret ingredient (and super healthy, too.)

  15. Hooray! But my house is still trashed, that doesn't seem fair somehow :)

  16. That sounds interesting and delicious. Well done. I love both chickpeas and chocolate but have never tried them in a combo situation. Something new everyday!
    Have a great weekend.
