It uses a can of chickpeas and frozen spinach, and it’s so good and comforting.
Its affordable, nutritious, has no fancy ingredients, and is quick and easy.

Like the Chickpeas with Spinach Rice recipe, I say to sprinkle it with feta cheese before serving.
Not combining everything makes it work.
When I’m a guest, I ask if theres anything I can do.
Afterward, I will insist on helping clean up.
I was just talking to my best friend, who has two little kids, about this.
Kids' birthday parties have a beginning time and an ending time.
As adults, we’re allowed to do the same thing.
Its a nice way to handle it.
you might be even more explicit by offering a start time and an end time.
Say, Come over from six to eight or six to nine.
Set the end time a little earlier than you actually want.
