I think Sunday type of meals are things that cook up slow, fill the house with great smells, and bring a smile to people’s faces. My BBQ Baked Garbanzo Beans are just the type of meal I’m talking about. Canned garbanzos get mixed with all types of delicious flavors and slow roasts in the oven so all the flavors marinate and get all infused in the beans. Rounding out this meal is a red, white, and blue potato salad. Instead of a heavy mayo based dressing, we’ll pair the roasted potatoes with a super decadent lemon vinaigrette.
