You won’t miss the chicken when you replace it with Bush’s Garbanzo Beans in this flavorful Chickpea Salad Sandwich recipe!

Chickpea Salad Sandwich Recipe on dineanddish.net

Oh friends…I am so excited to share this recipe with you today!

As you know, school is back in session for us, which means I’m no longer responsible for feeding my pesky kids at lunch time.  Lunch time gets to be all about me, myself and I. It means no more “kid friendly” lunch food…instead I get to eat what I want and what I crave. I’ve recently discovered this is a big silver lining to my kids being at school all day. A little me time and a little grown up lunch time is definitely not a bad thing! 

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches using Bush's Garbanzo Beans from dineanddish.net

When my friends at Bush’s Beans recently asked me to create a recipe using their Garbanzo Beans (aka Chickpeas), I knew I wanted to do a salad of some sort. But then I thought about how much I love Chicken Salad Sandwiches and it was then that I decided to make myself a delicious “Chickpea” Salad Sandwich instead. I wanted something quick, easy and full of grown up flavors I could enjoy at lunch. This Chickpea Salad Sandwich recipe is just that… a grown up lunch done right.

When you replace the chicken in your favorite chicken salad recipe with Bush’s Garbanzo Beans, you won’t even miss it. I promise. Chickpeas are such a great vegetarian alternative for those who want a little less meat in their lives and a little more protein and fiber packed chickpea goodness.

In addition to Bush’s Garbanzo Beans, crunchy cucumbers, flavorful red onions and dried cranberries give this recipe an extra tasty flavor boost! Plus, there’s no need to cook anything, so these sandwiches can be ready for you to enjoy in just a matter of a few minutes. It’s the best kind of grown up lunch done right! I hope you enjoy it!

(Here’s a quick video I did just to show you how easy these sandwiches really are to make!)

    I think this gorgeous sandwich is evidence that you are making the all kids in school transition in a delicious way. 🙂 Such a fun and different way to try chick peas – I swear I have only ever used them in hummus, so this is opening up new vistas for me!

    This is a wonderful surprise take on the classic Chicken Salad Sandwich. Lately, I’ve been getting more into legumes and discovering just how awesome they really are. And chickpeas/Garbanzo beans are packed full of protein and other nutrients, you really can’t go wrong. I am going to have to file this one under Summer Recipes to Make.

    Thank you kindly.

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!
.
Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

C is for Coaching, Coffee and Crystals! Lots of C words today. My @rockyourhappy coaching practice has been the best thing. I am so lucky to be working with really great clients who are doing the hard work and making big changes in their lives. It’s been the perfect fit for me and I know it’s what I am meant to be doing. Coffee, of course, is my favorite C word and Crystals…my daughters got me into the energy powers of crystals and it’s been really fun to learn all about them.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
