Good idea with chickpeas. I love them and never think to put them in anything except for salad and of course hummus.
Grace says
I love that you call it "macaroni" When I was a kid we didn't have any of this "pasta" stuff - we had macaroni or it was called by it name - fusilli, ziti, linguni..

The grandboys were with us this week in 10 and 12 and Sunday morning when I ask what they wanted for breakfast...Nick said. "Pasta with salt and butter" and Jon said "Strawberries with lots of sugar"....What's a grandma to do....just what they asked...two happy boys...one happy grandma. They are pasta lovers.
