This salad is simple, delicious, and would be even better if it had cinnamon roasted chickpeas on it.
What it does include, however, is fresh baby spinach, goat cheese, dried cherries, and the divine cinnamon pear balsamic vinegar I bought at The Filling Station on my NYC trip in December.

On an exercise note, I have a new found love for Pilates. That, and doing my friend Sarah's Turbofire workouts with her in the living room, all couches and coffee tables pushed aside.

Hot soup, cinnamon rolls, and pizza!
For Christmas, my dad gave me a new Moosewood Cookbook, which I love! A few nights ago, I made my first recipe from the it - the Italian Chickpea Stew.
I used sweet potatoes instead of butternut squash, since I had some on hand. It also called for onion, garlic, carrots, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, kale, coriander, basil, and red wine vinegar.
It was my first time making soup, or stew rather, but it turned out great! And it's filling like you wouldn't believe.
Over the weekend, there was talk of snow in Wilmington. No one really believed it. But low and behold, we awoke Monday morning to huge white snowflakes and everything in in town closed. So school was canceled, work was canceled, and my roommates made cinnamon rolls.
Later, we rented Inception from Redbox and had a snow-day movie-watching game-playing party all day and night.
And last night, I made a pizza using Katie's 15-minute pizza crust, topped with roasted eggplant and green bell peppers.
Delicious! So awesome to make up such a killer pizza from scratch in such a short amount of time.
