I love making this dish for the kids because they get their veggies and legumes in one. There are times where I know me kids have not been eating there vegetable because I have not been making any for them. So when I come up with these types of recipes, it becomes a win-win for everyone. When it’s truly a home run is when they actually like it and ask for seconds.
When it comes to side dishes, I want them to be quick. I wouldn’t say I like to spend too much time putting side dishes together. But they are just as important as the main dish.
