GuacaHummus The Ultimate Party Dip!

When avocados meet up with garbanzos, great things happen!
When 2 Great Foods Meet!
Doug brought home 5 avocados yesterday. But I already had 2 1/2 in the refrigerator! It must be time for his famous Guacamole. But wait, I had my heart set on hummus. I see a compromise coming - yes, its time to make GuacaHummus! With some Hearty Vegan Bean Chili with Wheat Berries already on the stove, Im thinking its going to be a pretty good day!

Stressed? Maybe ornithine can help. Or is this study just a hoax!? Sounds like marketing shenanigan, right? "Lower Cortisol, Higher DHEA, Better Sleep W/ Only 400mg of Ornithine Pre-Bed." Ok, if it was marketing it would probably say "with only 5g of ornithine." I mean, 400mg thats not enough to generate significant revenues - is it? But before we get to the marketing side of things, lets first look at the science, researchers from the Research Laboratories for Health Science & Food Technologies present in a recent paper in the Nutrition Journal , an open-access journal which charges scientists a certain fee for processing their papers.

Mix well with your hands to combine. Drain and rinse the grape leaves. Put a sm...

The importance of the British Heart Foundation diet is the way it is structured, and the general emphasis given to rapid weight loss.
