Chickpeas Lemon Peppers Salad with Refried Bean Veggies Quesadilla
When I called my husband and asked him what he like to eat for dinner? He said, “something light, honey.”
Hmmmm, something light dinner that means isn’t heavy dinner (no pasta, no rice).
And finally, here is what I made for our dinner tonight. Just simply #oilfree salad and quesadilla for two of us. Easy dinner, light as his request, and no greasy kitchen. Happy me, happy him, happy dinner.
