I'm not a big cook. Decorate or clean the kitchen? Sure! Sign me up, but making meals isn't my strong suit. That's why I gravitate to super simple recipes...like my orzo chickpea salad. It's healthy, homemade and easy to prepare with ingredients I usually have in the pantry.

It's a great meal on its own, but it also makes a tasty side dish. We often pair it with homemade chicken nuggets.

Open a few cans and chop a few veggies and you're on your way to a very tasty lunch or dinner that doesn't take any skill or a lot of time to prepare. Fabulous!
