Spicy Chickpea Salad

I came across an article that said that chickpea is good for metabolism, and great for weight loss. Spicy food too, helps a lot in weight loss. I thought that maybe I should try them. Besides, I rarely had any beans or nuts in my diet. So, when I went shopping for ingredients, I bought a can of chickpea with chickpea salad in mind.

2 tbsp Capers

1 Tomato 

Salt and pepper

2. Diced the tomatoes.

3. Combine all ingredients.

4. Drizzle some Vinaigrette, and season with salt and pepper.

5. Serve immediately or chill in refrigerator before serving.

Almond and Dates T'ings

T'ings are one of the simplest things in chocolate making. There's no measurement, and the ingredients are really simple. All you need are milk, dark or white chocolate, tempered or compounded and some nuts and dried fruits for toppings. You could even use your leftover chocolate from finishing other chocolate to make T'ings.

I made this using the leftover chocolate from dipping some cake truffle. I used chopped almonds and dates for toppings as they're the only nuts and dried fruits I could find in the kitchen. Of course, you could try making them with other toppings too. Just spoon your melted chocolate in bite-size pools, and add on the desired toppings.
