Hard to find a meal to please a house of 6 picky eaters, but this was a win! Tasted even better the next day. Love how healthy it is, too. Can’t wait to make this one again.

I’ve been trying many similar recipes – this is the most straight forward and pleasing to the palate balance of flavors that I’ve found in awhile! Thank you!

This dish is really good, my husband even liked it and he doesn’t eat things like this. I will make this over and over again.
