Lime Coconut & Basil Roasted Chickpeas + #FitFoodieRun Austin #Giveaway

litehouse roasted chickpeas title

Chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) have been a hot item in my home lately. From a warm and comforting bowl of Smokey Chipotle Squash & Chickpea Soup to a crisp and cool Kale Cucumber & Chickpea Salad (served in the cutest tomato bowls), the humble chickpea has no problem showing chutzspa! Check out this healthy snack recipe I created with garbanzo beans for Litehouse Food – Coconut Basil Lime Roasted Chickpeas! We’ve been gobbling them up for an after school snack and as “croutons” on salads — they would also be perfect as party food or to take tailgating. Head over to the Living Litehouse blog to get the full recipe and all of the yummy details.

Chickpeas aside, if you love running and “fooding” as much as I do, The Fit Foodie 5k weekend is for YOU! As an ambassador, I shared a bunch of details about this coming weekend’s events in a recent blog post (check it out) , but I want to let everyone know I’m having a FLASH giveaway for tickets that will get the winner and a guest into the 5k race, yoga event and boot camp – and, of course, all the post-race gourmet tastings are included as part of the finish line party.

If you want to enter to win these awesome Fit Foodie 5k passes, you’ll need to act FAST, I’m closing the entries on Wednesday at midnight (CT) so that the winner will have time to round up a friend, get registered with the free codes and decide what running outfit will accommodate lots of good food at the finish!  So, please enter if you are from Austin and the surrounding Hill Country area (or plan to be visiting this weekend) – the 5k run starts at 8am on Saturday morning (Sept 13th) and afterward is the food grazing at the Finisher’s Village along with a chance to meet celebrity Allison Sweeney.  Sunrise yoga and the boot camp both start at 9am on Sunday, September 14th  and you’ll have likely need to pick between the two events.

  1. These look delicious! I would recommend roasted chickpeas as a snack to kids I worked with who had nut allergies! They loved them!

  2. CHICKPEAS ROASTED AT THE SHEEEZE NEEZEEEE! My favorite restaurant on the face of the planet introduced me to them, and they created a chickpea monster out of me!
