Tonight’s recipe is one that is becoming a regular around our house. Whether you are looking for something easy and relatively quick to make or whether you are looking for a vegetarian option this recipe is a good option.
We enjoy it so much that my wife made a couple of extra batches last week that we put in freezer bags and was good enough for 3-4 meals. As an added bonus, our 2.5 year-old can’t get enough of it.
Unfortunately the pictures I tried to take of it won’t upload so I cannot share one with you this time.
Here is the recipe:
