Roasted Chili Lime Chickpeas

Hi everyone!  Hope you are doing well!  Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, life literally took over!  With the end of Ethan’s first school year coming to a close, there are a ton of activities that are coming up. 

I must say though, I’m so excited for the school year to end.  I’m looking forward to spending my first summer home with the kids.  We have so much planned, and I’ll be blogging my way through it, so stay tuned!

Today, I thought I’d share a recipe that’s a complete HIT in my house.  It’s so incredibly easy and healthy too!  The best part about this recipe is that I was finally able to use some of the cilantro that I’m growing.  That alone got me excited! 

Hope you enjoy!
