Ho-hum Humdrum
Yes, those are bacon wrapped meatballs. And to think, Husband and I declared this week vegetarian week in our household. We only lasted through Monday. I guess one evening of chickpea salad was enough for us.
Everday Vinaigrette, my favorite dressing, usually appears on our lettuce. Last night, I topped our roasted vegetables with this anything but dull dressing. Don't you think the word everyday implies something that leans towards humdrum? Don't let it fool you. This dressing would work for special occasions too.
