“Sweet with a little heat” is the best way to describe the combination of flavors this vibrant and healthy dish brings to you, your family, and guests as you gather around the dinner table for an evening meal. Kevin gives it two thumbs up, and he is most proud that it is filled with many essential nutrients such as protein and Vitamins A, B, C, and K. The inspiration for this recipe comes from “Bon Appétit,” December 2009 edition.
May your time around the dinner table be filled with grace, thanksgiving, and joy as you invest in the life of one another over a good meal and a hearty conversation.
Blessings for a delicious, healthy, and wonderful week,
