Hello from TINA
KASHIAN! I’m a fan of quick and healthy weeknight meals. With
two busy girls, a day job, and writing at night, I’m a mom on the run. I know
how tempting it is to swing by the Chick-fil-A drive through on the way home
from swim practice. Cooking healthy is a challenge, and I’ve been flipping
through cookbooks and searching online for healthy dishes that don’t take hours
in the kitchen. I’m happy to share a quick Italian vegetable dinner that my
family enjoyed.
Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 cup chicken broth
¾ cup uncooked long grain rice
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup marinara sauce
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Minced fresh basil
