tuscan kale and garbanzo beans (vegan)


our weeknights are so hectic and crazy, so i really appreciate when we have something ready to go in the refrigerator for dinner that can just be reheated as we run from one event to another.  i like to do what i can on the weekends to prep for the week in order to make our week nights easier.

over the weekend, ryan was flipping through wegman's menu magazine and found this tuscan kale and garbanzo bean recipe.  it sounded great, so i made a big pot of it on sunday and it has been feeding us all week long.  it's a healthy recipe, packed with lots of veggies.  it's both delicious and filling, and it's vegan too!
