Good Morning, Darlings!
I know how busy we all get, but you still want to eat healthy fare. This is a quick little dish that never disappoints. It would be great for company, too. Happy Thursday!

This is so simple! Try it and let me know what you think. I usually serve this over cous cous – yummy!
