::chickpea:salad::

I might make a chickpea salad...looks appetizing and healthy enough. Even though I have given up this week with exercising and healthy eating. It was a lazy-assed wash! 

I need to make a schedule...or I will forever be a lazy bum...now I know why some people are fat and lazy asses that do nothing with their lives. 

It's tempting. ;)

Bon Appetit!

Freakin' simple people! And sounds pretty filling - why the heck are they called garbanzo beans and why did they change it to chickpea's? I'll never know. If you do, leave your thoughts in the comments section. 

Either way...I don't have celery...so I am going to add cucumbers, and I am not a huge huge huuuuge fan of red bell pepper like that, so I might just had some regular onion. 

Oh, I have feta cheese. That might be a great addition. :) 

I could really go for buttery mashed potatoes though...
