Because healthy cooking is terrific, but not at the expense of taking up all your free time... you know what I mean?

I made this dish last night and I was reminded not only of it’s deliciousness, but how it makes a meal come together in less than 30 minutes.

This is a great recipe to add in any extra veggies of your choice! I switch up the vegetables all the time. Sometimes I use kale in here, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or roasted butternut squash.

Give this recipe a try this week and see what you think.
