We love gingerbread everything all year long. How about you? These Gingerbread Roasted Chickpeas are perfect just about any time. I love roasted chickpeas because they are an allergy friendly snack.

Have you tried roasted chickpeas? They make such a delicious snack. You can make them sweet or savory. Today I opted for savory to make these Curry Roasted Chickpeas. These were so good. I had to hide them from my husband, because he kept trying to eat them before I could shoot the photo! My 6 year old liked them too. They make the perfect healthy snack.

These roasted chickpeas are perfect for those with allergies since they are nut free, vegan and gluten free. Safe for school lunch boxes too. If you wanted more of a sweet curry flavor, you can add a little maple syrup.

Blueberry Flax Granola. I used to be a huge cereal fan. When I went to a whole foods way of life, I ditched the cereal for homemade granola.
