Pink Hummus Quesadillas

Pink Hummus Quesadillas
1 c dry chickpeas, soaked overnight and sprouted 3 days
4 T fresh lemon juice
2 T extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
4 t homemade taco seasoning
1/2 c sun dried tomatoes, drained
1/2 c salsa
1/2 t sea salt
8-10 T water
corn tortillas
2-ish c fresh spinach
1 c fresh cilantro
1 c shredded mozzerella

Blend all but the last 4 ingredients in high power blender.
Heat some coconut oil in skillet, and stack 1 corn tortilla, sprinkling of cheese, pink hummus mixture (thick), chopped spinach & cilantro, another sprinkling of cheese and 1 corn tortilla to top. Fry until crispy on both sides, and cut into quarters. Serve immediately.

I made the mistake of having Ben fry these, and he put on wayyyyy too much cheese, so be careful! The pink hummus is so flavorful, and if you use too much cheese is just ruins it. We know for next time, but it was so tasty!

Taken from GSG, with some alterations for flavor-i.e. garlic, extra water, etc.


Soooo, Father's Day. I always let my hubby pick out what he wants to eat for dinner, and for the dessert. Well, not that this was a mistake, but it certainly posed some difficulties when he chose a dish that had a lot of cheese, and a dessert that had a LOT of sugar. Not only did most of us have sore tummies for several days, but I found the the raging monster of sugar cravings reared it's ugly head. I had a really rough week both physically and emotionally because I started thinking sugar-sugar-sugar all the time. It was amazing to me how even a taste of it gets your body craving it like crazy, even though it's been weeks since you had it.

Has anyone else had issues with their tummies and their brains after going off of a food, and then eating it again?
