She’s a classic. We love a meal like this because it’s
a. Meal prep friendly (basically, it keeps well in the fridge).
b. the family can put their bowls together however they want in the portions they want (so everyone is happy).
c. It tastes really darn good and can be customized with whatever lingering veg and protein you have in the house.
Great healthy meal to have on rotation in your healthy habit arsenal of dinners and lunches.
