roasted chickpeas with cinnamon and sugar
I used cinnamon and splenda (no real sugar for me) and they are pretty good. I think I like them better salty but I was not in the mood for salty tonight, I was in the mood for something sweet. This works. It reminds me a little of roasted almonds you can get some places around the winter holidays.

What I've been doing with dried beans lately is to cook a whole bag when I have time to cook them and then store them in the fridge until I'm ready to use them in a dish. I wouldn't try to keep them too long, so I have to do it when I have a couple meals with them planned for that week, but then all I have to do is dump them in my chili pot or whatever. I've actually been prepping a lot of stuff for meals ahead of time. I will sit down when I have time and chop a couple onions, for instance, and then when I am ready to cook I don't have to worry about all the chopping.

What does cause constipation?
If certain ingredients, like sugar and fat, can move the bowels, there also must be substances causing constipation. Just think about it: if there were only neutral and bowel-stimulating substances and no
substances causing constipation, then constipation would not exist.
Most of our foods contain fats and sugars, and because fats and sugar move the bowels, there definitely must be food substances causing constipation. And there are:
- Beta-carbolines [233] in proteinaceous prepared foods, in particular, (heated-in-any-way meat, fish (especially the tuna and salmon in can), beans, grains, and tofu.
- Opioid peptides in dairy [234] and wheat-products [235] like bread, etc., and any kind of cheese (except the full-fat low- protein cream cheese). Also constipating: wheat cookies, all crackers (rice crackers are constipating too),
cakes, pizza (especially the frozen and pre-baked ones), and pasta (pasta is less constipating when eaten with lots of olive oil and without fish or meat). Butter is not constipating for it contains hardly any protein (opioid peptides are contained in protein) and lots of fat.
