Hi friends!
I’m currently swamped with work and such, but I promise to try and have an update posted shortly. Until then, please enjoy a favorite blast from the past recipe, quinoa with summer squash, roasted chicken, spinach, corn and tomatoes. Every time I see this dish, I want to make it all over again and again. It’s perfectly light but incredibly filling.
Enjoy!
