As some of you may know Karmel and I have recently embarked on a business venture. With little to no business expertise and a recipe for Cookie Dough Hummus we decided that we were more than capable of running a business after watching Shark Tank on a Saturday afternoon. Who wouldn’t buy a delicious and nutritious treat from two Registered Dietitians, right? And so Chickie Dough was born. Chickie Dough is chickpea based dip that rivals the comfort and flavor of your favorite cookie dough but with the impressive nutritional value of hummus. Being high in fibre and protein, as well as, low in fat and sugar makes this an ideal alternative to typical dessert dips that are laden with butter, cream cheese, and sugar. There are three flavors  – Chocolate Chip, Peanut, and Trail Mix – with a feature flavor each week such as Monster Cookie and Chocolate Mini Egg. Chickie Dough is great for dipping with graham crackers, fresh or dried fruit, and pretzels. You can find us at the City Market Downtown inside City Hall for the next two weeks and then we will be moving outdoors at the 104 Street Market as of the May long weekend. Hope to see everyone out supporting local food in Edmonton!
