KL's CHICK-IN SPELT SOFT TACO

If you've never had chickpeas, you better get hip real FAST!

It's the main ingredient in "hummus" and it's a great source of protein and fiber for those who lack it in their daily nutrition.

The spelt wraps were purchased at Whole Foods Market and contain all natural ingredients and no corn syrup or additives!

Ingredients:
Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
Baby Bella mushrooms
Yellow onion
Roma tomato
Red Leaf lettuce
Spelt flour wrap (organic)
Chives
Basil
Cayenne pepper
Sea salt

Prep:
The chickpeas were slow cooked with yellow onion and bay leaves for 2 hours.

Next, in a small saucepan, the chickpeas and [well-rinsed] mushrooms were heated together for 5 minutes with the flavorful seasonings (chives, basil, cayenne, onion powder, sea salt) to create the "meat" of the taco/burrito/wrap (which ever you prefer to make). 

Strain any excess liquid so that it doesn't make your taco messy as you're eating it, or mash it up a little with a spoon our fork to make the "meat" easier to handle... if you're a rookie!

The spelt wrap was warmed on the open gas range for 30 seconds, constantly flipped every 5 or so seconds to prevent over cooking or burning.

Fresh cut vegetables for toppings of your choice makes this meal more memorable as I chose red leaf lettuce and Roma tomato for my CHICK N taco, whoooooo!

KL's 100% WHOLE GRAIN SPELT SPAGHETTI

I made some spaghetti that was so firrrrre last week... & it was done so fast!
It takes longer for the pot of water to boil on the burner than to cook the spelt pasta, haha!
Spelt products can be found in your local health food store year-round.
Spelt is an ancient grain that traces its heritage back long before many wheat hybrids. Many of its benefits come from the fact that it offers a broader spectrum of nutrients compared to many of its more inbred cousins in the wheat family. It can be used in many of the same ways as wheat including bread and pasta making. Spelt does not seem to cause sensitivities in many people who are intolerant of wheat.
To make this fast, awesome-tasting, yet healthy meal like I did, be ready to wash some dishes & get the following ingredients:
8 cups of water in a pot
1 box of VitaSpelt's 100% Whole Grain Spelt Spaghetti
1 jar of Organic Eden's Roma Tomato Sauce
8oz. of fresh chopped mushrooms (no Shitake mushrooms)
1 fresh bell pepper pitted and chopped (I chose green)
1/4 fresh Yellow Onion finely chopped
2 fresh roma tomatoes chopped (optional)
Herbs & Seasonings:
Basil, Sea Salt, Ceyanne Pepper, Onion Powder, Crushed Red Pepper (optional)
Follow me:
In a saucepan, add roma tomato sauce, roma tomatoes, basil, onion powder, and sea salt (add sauce to seasonings to taste) and bring to a soft boil. Reduce heat to keep sauce warm.
As water comes to a boil, cook spelt spaghetti 5-6 minutes (until tender, do not overcook) then drain & fast rinse. Add a little olive oil to keep pasta from sticking. Put the spaghetti back in the pot.
Meanwhile in a skillet, sautee mushrooms, yellow onion, and bell pepper in olive oil with basil & ceyanne pepper for 3-4 minutes.
You're all done now... unless you prefer to mix your sauteed veggies into the tomato sauce and simmer a bit.
Grab a big plate or dish because its time to eat!!
Peace =]
