Receta Minimal Ingredients, Monster Taste
With all the holiday maddness, poor Chocolate Broccoli has fallen on the way-side. Partys, holiday get-togethers, family outings and yummy food has filled in whatever space I have in between the maintenance of my everyday life-which is packed as it is. But who is complaining? That wouldn't be me, thats for sure. I love this time of year! I will say though that I have caught myself eating a bowl of cereal for dinner on occasion these past couple weeks-Hello? talk about E-A-S-Y. Pour cereal into bowl, open milk, pour over cereal. Spoon to cereal. Spoon to mouth. Satisfaction in no time. AND, not to forget- after eating gobs of dessert and heavy meals in celebration of this time of year- cereal sounds awfully good to my belly.
So- if cereal isn't so much your fancy where can you find light, easy, and satisfaction all in one. Well, here my friend. ;) But you already knew that (I hope!) A very amazing friend of mine hosted our monthly Supper Club and treated the group to this incredibly light and delicious meal- and I had to share it (With minimal changes! But, I change every recipe). Talk about simple! Fresh ingredients, lean protein and wholesome grains. BIG, BOLD flavor. As usual- change up the spices, flavors, or proteins as you like!
