Curried Chickpea Salad

Curried Chickpea Salad

July 11, 2020

Like many people, I panic-bought a lot of pantry staples and household essentials back in March. Among my purchases: shelf-stable guacamole (haven't worked up the nerve to try it yet), 48 rolls of "coreless"(i.e. no hole in the middle) toilet paper from an office supply website, and about ...

Ultimate Fall Salad with Cranberry-Orange Vinaigrette

October 30, 2014

What's your take on salad at Thanksgiving? We usually skip it. Most of my family members would rather save their stomach real estate for extra helpings of stuffing and pie. Plus, we've fasted all day in preparation for the feast, and no one wants their first bite to be...lettuce. But this year ...
