Today: Cook a Book - Frizzled Chickpeas & Onions, and our Slime Time Program!

Entertaining - even family and friends - can be unnerving for a lot of people.  Alison Roman's "Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food for Having People Over" seeks to remove the pressure of a get together.  After all, "Roasting a nice chicken for people is such a good way to say, 'I love you.'" Frizzled Chickpeas and Onions is a great option for a side as it can be made ahead a few hours in advance and reheated for a few minutes before serving.
Want to cook along with us? Click HERE for the ingredient list!
