CHICKPEA, CUCUMBER & FRESH HERB SALAD
We just moved into our first office and we're very excited! We spent all of last week renovating a 100-year-old house, so we could have a change of scenery during the workweek. At first, we wanted to rent an office space, but we realized that we'd never find a bright space that also had a kitchen without spending an arm and a leg. Now we're finally settled in and very comfortable in our dream space. This chickpea recipe is the first one I cooked in our new space and it's a winner.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH YOGURT
This is my kids' favorite cucumber salad. Sometimes I add even more yogurt. They literally are slurping up the dressing. If I make it for adults, I add fresh dill but my kids sadly don't like anything green in their salads.
