Tonight I was very limited on ingredients because we have to get to the grocery store, so I looked in my pantry to see what staples I had. I had a can of olives and two cans of garbonzo beans. We always keep those things on had for those rainy days and today we actually had some rain.
With a few simple ingredients, I was able to pull together a healthy meal in about 15 minutes. Once I tasted I made sure to write down the recipe because it was delicious.
