45: Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Published by Emily, December 31st, 2014

Happy new year everyone! I caught the flu and spent pretty much all of yesterday sleeping. It looks like I did not make it to 52 dishes in 2014 but I had so much fun learning new dishes and culinary tricks that I've decided to keep the same resolution this year. I might switch blogging platforms though - I'll post my new address once I figure out which platform to use! Til then, here's a picture of the delicious chickpea salad sandwiches I made. I'm so impressed with the oh she glows cookbook so far.
