    I would have loved to enjoy this article, but unfortunately I cannot read it because your website is so poor. The advertisements cover most of the content. My MAcbook is brand new and your website makes it slow / lag. I understand you need to make money, but dial it back a bit.

    Reply

    • Denise says

      Hi Hill. I welcome feedback about your experience on my site, and if you would like to send me a screenshot of ads covering the content (which should not happen and I do not see on my computers), that would be helpful. In case you were wondering, I have refused many of the intrusive ads that would earn me more money in favor of a better user experience including pop-ups, video adhesion ads on mobile, and all recipe card ads. I think if you look around at other large media sites, you might agree that it's a better experience on my site. But if not, you are welcome to find free recipes elsewhere.

    This is one of my favourites:

    I do roasted/grilled zucchini strips, carmelized onions, roasted cherry tomatoes, spinach and the Thai peanut hummus on a gluten free or whatever kind of wrap and grill the wrap. It’s amazing!!!

    Thai peanut hummus

    1x 540ml can chickpeas rinsed and stained
    2-3 tbls natural peanut butter
    1 tbls sirachi ( add more after if you want
    1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger
    2 minced garlic cloves
    1/2 tbsp honey/real maple syrup or agave syrup
    1 tbsp Olive oil I use half olive oil and half garlic infused olive oil
    3-4 tbls cold water
    Lime juice
    Sea or mineral salt & pepper
    Green onions
    Peanuts ( I get plain and toast then with garlic and sea salt)

    Chickpeas, peanut butter, siracha, ginger garlic and maple syrup in processor/blender and bogey as smooth as you can, then add in oil, cold water and lime juice and blend again.
    Move to serving dish and add salt/pepper and more lime juice as needed.

      Hi Brenda, have you ever tried sun butter or no-nut butter? I haven't actually tried it in the no bake snack bars recipe but I have had readers use it as an alternative to nut butters in my energy bites and they had success.
