This has been one of our go-to recipes for the longest time now. This week, Mike actually asked for it specifically, which is a big thing considering usually when I ask him what he wants for dinner it's, "Oh, I don't know." It had been a while since we'd made this recipe, and with the first bite, I wondered why it had been so long. It's super simple, very easy and quick-- the perfect weeknight recipe. This recipe comes from Skinnytaste, one of my absolute favorite food blogs. I warned you guys-- I am not the most creative cook in coming up with my own recipes, but I know a good recipe and Gina's dishes make eating healthy a delicious experience! This particular dish is great because it's easy, delicious and makes 6, 1 1/2 cup servings, so it will easily get you through a few meals for the week. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
