Of all the thanksgiving leftovers in our house, the dressing (or stuffing) is definitely gobbled up the fastest. However, it's always fun to try making new recipes out of leftovers, and if your grandmother is anything like mine, she's probably made a few extra Pyrex dishes of dressing "just in case".

Kale, Apple, + Roasted Chickpea Salad with Garlic Tahini Dressing
Now that honeycrisp apples are in season, I've found myself eating this salad way too often. Between the crunchy roasted chickpeas and the chopped apples, this salad has great texture. It's very satisfying as a stand-alone meal, but you can always add sliced chicken if you'd like. My inspiration for this dish came from the minimalist baker's garlicky kale salad with crispy chickpeas. Her ...

Roasted Radishes + Carrots
Guys. Did you know that roasted radishes are delicious? Am I the only person who is just discovering this quick and easy side dish?
