It’s been one of those weeks. Where the dishes have piled up. The clothes have piled up. You know the drill. (unless you’re a neat-freak, and I envy you forever + ever). I spent my time in Alexandria completely under the weather with a bad cold… and upon returning, I think I gave the cold to my sister. So we’ve been kind of pathetic. As I mentioned– lots of tissues, lots of unwashed dishes. It’s lovely.
And although I should only be eating the healthiest foods when I’m sick, I generally crave comfort food. Real-bad-for-you comfort food. And when no one has gone shopping, I am ever-so-tempted to just go pick something up. BUT, this morning, I stumbled upon this recipe. Amazingly I had all of the ingredients (cue trumpets), and was able to make a similar rendition for lunch. I basically just added red pepper and since I didn’t have any dill pickles, I left them out. Anyways, it was easy, delicious, and I still have leftovers. Basically, what I’m getting at is this: when I’m in a weakened state (ha) and really just want junk food, only something real easy (& yummy) can pull me away.
So, if you’re looking for a healthy lunch this week, I’d recommend a crunchy chickpea salad! Deee-lish.
Hope you’re all having a wonderful (read: HEALTHY) weekend!!
