My daughter Tori is away in college. She is only on the partial meal plan because she’s in an apartment off campus. She frequently sends me photos and recipes of her quick and nutritious dinners she makes with her roommates. Here’s one that’s quick and easy and really delicious. Great for any weeknight meal for a family table.
