A Whole (Vegetarian) Meal

What was on the menu a few weeks ago? Crockpot Chickpea Stew with Balsamic Caramelized Onions, Rosemary Sea Salt Focaccia Bread, and a salad.

It was a little cooler out then – granted, we've had some cold spells recently (plus hail, apparently!), so it may not be totally inappropriate to this post now. I would make the stew no matter the temperature, though, if I'm being completely honest. It is just delicious. The focaccia bread is a different recipe than I usually use, but very flaky and good.

The salad was a bit fun, because I set it up as a salad bar on the kitchen counter, and everyone could build their own masterpiece.

And can I just say that I absolutely love balsamic vinegar? We practically guzzle it down at my apartment. (Although, thinking about actually guzzling any kind of vinegar is making me a little queasy. Duly noted.)

Oh, and everything except for the bread is gluten-free, as far as I know.
