Kale & Spinach with Chickpeas

Now that my boys are back in school, our weeknights are busier than ever.

When sandwiches just won't cut it for dinner, this vegetarian dish is super quick to make and filling and tasty to eat. Serve it with a hunk of crusty bread and you've got a main course. Or use it as a side dish for any meat, chicken or fish.
