| Dried Chickpeas And Couscous Salad |
Hey guy, hope all is well.
It's been a while since I posted
(Is it me or sharing food posts during the peak rona period was
just something else),
2020 has been a very hectic but no worries I'm back.
On today's blog post I will be doing a Chickpea and Couscous Salad.
What I love about this salad is that you can
have it hot or cold and even substitute the ingredients with your own favorites.
I like to also add some add some
seasonal fruits and vegetables (really whatever you like mostly goes here).
In addition you can add some nuts and seeds to give it that nutty and crunchy texture,
you can have it as a salad or a side dish and it is really nutritious.

Hey guys, lamb is something that my grandmother always had in
her fridge and I cannot end the year without cooking up a chop or two
and today we have prepared some lamb chops.
The dish today is served with seasonal vegetable
(some brocolli, cauliflower,
peas that have been sauté'd in the lamb pan)
The preparing of a lamb chop should be medium,
however our tastes buds are different
so it will be up to you.
This post is quick as I feel like the ingredients picture
says everything about the ingredients also.
Have a great Weekend.
See you soon.
