Chickpea Salad with Chili Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Getting things done around the house like cleaning, folding laundry, hanging garland on the front porch, wrapping gifts and getting them ready to be shipped to different parts of the US made me work up an appetite. Since I don't feel like going to the grocery store today this lunch is a concoction of what I had on hand. Actually, it felt great to use up some of the things I had just laying around the kitchen.
Pics of the new additions and decor around the house to come. For now, kick your feet up and enjoy this easy, inexpensive and fast lunch. You deserve it
