One of the very best things about this little space is the community. This wonderfully supportive blogging community permeates everything I do. I want to inspire because I have been so inspired. I reach out to bloggers I adore because other adoring bloggers have reached out to me. I personified my passion for food and created Hummusapien because I so deeply related to the passions of some truly incredible bloggers.
So why is today so special? Because today I’m posting this mouth-watering recipe on Julia’s blog. I’m sure you already know and love The Roasted Root, since you clearly have superb taste in food blogs. Julia isn’t just another blogger. She is a true friend. She is one of those people that you immediately connect with on a level deeper than mere food chatter. This girl knows me. Julia amuses me on a daily basis. She creates the most amazing recipes featuring chia seeds and chickpeas and coconut milk and alllllll the foods I lurve. But she doesn’t just post recipes. Ohhh no. She tells hilarious stories with this incredible wit from God only knows where. After she takes your breath away with beyond stunning pictures of Eggnog Bread with Boozy Maple Glaze and makes you cry laughing from her daily musings, she goes and mails you her new cookbook, Delicious Prebiotic Drinks like the gem that she is. And no, obviously it’s not the first cookbook she’s written. Oh no. She’s already written extensively about our favorite nutrition powerhouse, kale, in her book Let Them Eat Kale.
When Julia asked me to guest post on her blog, I was in shock. I felt like THE REAL DEAL. Like wait–this super-cool-I-wanna-be-her blogger is asking me to post on her blog? Pinch me, please. And again. Have I mentioned that Julia and I have never met? Crazy, right? Someday we’ll waste the day away drinking kale smoothies out of coconuts gabbing about ex-boyfriends. That’s just how we do.
These chickpea sliders with sweet cashew cream are kind of like Julia–zesty, bold, sweet and addicting to the last drop! Print
