Honesty, one morning I had some veggies that I had to use up before they went bad, and this is how I came up with this recipe. I was quite surprised how much the kids really liked it. After that day it has been on repeat.
What I love about this recipe is, it’s so simple, quick, and it can be easily adjusted if only serving for one. These measurements do not need to be exact, you can use other vegetables as well, or anything you have on hand. The combinations are unless.
