Cilantro Shrimp Fried Rice

I love this dish.  Takes about 5-7 minutes to make and is perfect for work-lunch (yep, I’m eating this at my desk as I type this post) or a light dinner.  Since it doesn’t require a lot of oil, eggs or various sauces like your usual fried rice, it’s pretty healthy.  It’s super light and

Spicy Roasted Chickpeas Salad

  I have a confession to make …. I HATE SALADS!!  Maybe hate is too strong of a word, I very much dislike salads.  I generally just hate cold food and since salads are usually cold, I tend to stay away from them.  I think flavors develop with heat.  Even while cooking, if you want more intense
