Whole Wheat Apple "Pie" Pancakes

1/31/2013

After a long and stressful work week, I needed some serious R&R this past weekend. That definitely did happen, but in the context of our crazy need-to-move especially when it's 70 degrees in January lives. With the warmer temps and my first ultra of the year quickly approaching (4 weeks!), I knew it was time for this flatlander to get to know the mountains a little better. But I digress, post-lifting at the gym, my weekend started with a gathering of friends at our place and this delicious breakfast:

Chickpeas are a member of the legume family may have originated as far back as 7,500 years ago in the Middle East. Also formally known as garbanzo beans, chickpeas are high in protein & fiber and are most commonly used in Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food dishes (and especially in hummus). However, as this legume has grown more popular the opportunities are endless!

Nutrition Facts: 1 cup chickpeas

270 kcal
14.5g protein
45g carbohydrate, 12.5g fiber
4.2g fat (unsaturated healthy fat)

These legumes are rich in Folate (71% daily value), B6 (11%) and Thiamin (13%), Iron (26%), Phosphorus (28%), Copper (29%) and Manganese (84%). One cup also provides 1824mg omega-6 fatty acids and 70.5 omega-3 fatty acids. These tiny gems are a great source of slow burning complex carbohydrate and their fiber content will leave you feeling satisfied and full for hours.

Sweet Potato Chips

This past weekend was a rare one in the Chang household. We had absolutely no plans (other than running of course) and enjoyed every moment of it! Saturday we woke up late, took a leisurely stroll with the dogs through downtown, enjoyed some soy lattes via a Starbuck gift card we received at Christmas and then came home to lounge around/ clean.

Lazy days around the house also mean a great opportunity to experiment with food! Usually these experiments arise by the husband saying he wants something and me contriving a way to actually make it. So, Sunday after church he asked for some sweet potato chips on a whim. Luckily, we had some sweet potatoes sitting around and it worked out well!
