My daughter Tori just shared this simple and delicious recipe she just made for herself up in college. She’s in her senior year and lives off campus. She’s not on the food plan anymore so, she’s making her own meals and loving it. Usually she and the other roommates cook as a group and eat together but, this time she had lots of studding to do and wanted something quick and easy. They all go to the market once a week and stock up on all their food for the week. She said this recipe took no time at all and see her shortcuts to make this healthy and delicious meal for your own family. Just keep doubling the recipe for each person. I’m making this tonight, yum!
