These beans are so versatile that I just realized we have a lot of chickpea recipes on the blog, and you may want to try them, too!
Itās not the first time that going down to my garden has inspired me to send you guys a recipe or a list. It happened before with these Smashed potatoes, and it happened again today!
My kids planted some chickpeas with my mum, and we didnāt think they were going to grow but we have beautiful chickpea plants now everywhere in the garden, so if anybody has planted chickpeas before and wants to give me some tips, Iāll be more than happy ā¤ļø who knows, maybe in a few months Iām doing the recipes with my our homegrown chickpeas! š
If youāre into garnering as much as I am and need a planner, you can grab a free one from Susan from Organized 31. Iāve been using it myself and love it! She has other helpful planners, too, so have a look!
