Roasted Chickpea Salad Recipe I adore roasted chickpeas of any kind and they’re wonderful coated in smoked paprika and cumin. Along with the smoky roasted chickpeas, I roasted broccoli and sugar snap peas.

The cooling buttermilk dressing is a perfect contrast to the smoky mild heat of the smoked paprika....
I wanted something sweet (duh) but I didn’t want to make a huge batch of anything. I try to make smaller batches of desserts whenever possible since variety is the spice of life, and this cookie recipe makes just one dozen smallish cookies. I also didn’t want to dirty too many dishes or haul out The Beast, and mixed the batter by hand. I wasn’t exactly sure what I had in mind but when I opened my baking cabinet and saw a partially-used bag of Heath Bar bits, I knew I would toss those in because I am a huge toffee fan....

I said, since when do you like crème brûlée, knowing his outright distaste for cheesecake, and he’s very picky about pies and custardy things....
