Megan G Fitness Guru Posts: 260 Megan G I am a slow runner, decent snowboarder, and aim for wiisports rookie of the year. I have strong legs, eastern european calves, and like to lift things my boyfriend thinks I can't. A busy and constantly changing schedule make it hard to get into and stay in a workout routine. I'm a crusader for medical scientific truth in nutrition and weight loss discussions and I heart fiber.	# Posted: 20 Feb 2008 01:23 After moving away from the grocery store that carried my favorite brand, I've gotten into making it at home in my mini food processor. It's too easy and good to dip veggies into. Here's the recipe I've played around with, and I'm curious what combos other people use. 1 can (19oz) of washed chickpeas (progresso sized can) less than 1/4 cup tahini 3 tbsp lemon juice ~1 tbsp water 1-2 cloves fresh garlic, sliced tsp sea salt black pepper 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp ground cumin sprinkle with paprika or old bay before dipping puree everything, then puree the peas in. chill before tasting because it really makes a difference after it sets. what's yours?
Monique Kamosi Fitness Guru Posts: 222 Monique Kamosi I'm a vegetarian, trying to be better at eating whole foods and exercising 6 days per week. I've been off this site for a while, but I think I'm back for the long haul. Wish me luck! My rewards for goal weights: 200 pounds: Order a body fat % calculator (I've been wanting one for awhile) 190: I can buy $40.00 of books that I've been wanting lately 180: He'll buy me a wedding band (we just recently got married, and at first I didn't want one to wear with my engagement ring, but I've changed my mind. So now we're making it a reward). 170: Professional full body massage (If you've never had this done, DO IT -- it's amazing). 160: New clothes (because my old ones -- even my old skinny clothes -- probably won't be fitting at this point). 150: Here's the grand prize -- we're going to go to either Africa or Europe! My husband grew up in Africa, and we've been talking about going for a long time. He has a lot of family there, and he hasn't been himself in several years. However, if that doesn't work out, then we'll go to Europe for a couple weeks. I'm SOOOOO excited, I've been wanting to go back for years and now I've finally convinced him to go!	# Posted: 20 Feb 2008 01:50 My regular recipe: 1 can chickpeas 1 can black beans (both 15 oz) 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (more to taste) 2-4 cloves garlic, or to taste lemon juice to taste 1-2 tblsp olive oil 3-4 tbsp tahini I tend to add other ingredients, and the measurements are sketchy, but this is my basic recipe.
