crispy roasted yummy chickpea snacks:

1 can of chick peas, drained.
1 tbsp olive oil
flavourings of your choice.

i used lemon juice, ground cumin, salt and hot sauce.  mixed em all up with the seasonings and olive oil till they were very well coated.  put them down on a parchment lined cookie sheet in a single layer (or else they won't brown up properfly) in a 400 degree oven.  they will brown up, get crispy and all shrunken.  you know they're ready when they're all dry inside. (taste them!)

i roasted them in the oven for about an hour.  and i shook them around every 15 minutes or so to make sure they were cooking evenly and not burning.

6 - 8 roma tomatoes
1 vidalia onion
1 or 2 any color pepper - I like green and red
Feta - low fat - fat free - full fat - I have used them all
Good quality salad dressing - I use Paul Newmans Italian or oil and vinegar or Kraft feta and herbs

Take the ends off the Roma's and cut in half - I run the knife around the inside to remove the seeds and the pulp- discard this - then chop the meaty tomato part
Add 1/2 chopped vidalia onion- or more to taste
Add one or two chopped peppers - I add two for vitamins
Add LOTS of feta
Maybe 1 or two tablespoons of salad dressing - you can always add more later -
lots of pepper

ok, so i read about that low carb cauliflower pizza recipe.. either here or on the vsg board, i don't remember.. and i thought i'd try it out. 

http://www.examiner.com/x-355-Low-Carb-Examiner~y2008m6d4-Cauliflower-Pizza-Crust-Worth-its-Wow-in-Gold

i used my food processor with the big grating blade to "rice" the cauliflower.  it turned out FANTASTIC.  it held together well enough that you could pick up the pieces with your hand and it didn't fall apart. the edges got nice and crisp. i used part skim mozzarella, marinara sauce and turkey pepperoni, but i'll definitely get more creative when i make it again. the full pizza (4 slices) has 594 cal, 17 grams of carbs and 51 grams of protein!  i could only eat 2 slices, so less than 300 cal, and 25 grams of protein!  it was definitely a taste treat!
