This sounds really good to me....and thanks for the nutritional information.

I divided the total carbs by 4 and there are only 28.5 gm. per serving.....that

is great.....and with such a high fiber count....it is even better than great!

And I love chick peas! I might still cut down on the raisins a bit, but I want

to make this one SOON!

Thanks!!
