  1. Looks yummy! Thank you for the idea! I might add 2 cans of (drained rinsed) black beans to make it more of a heartier main dish, mabye in place of the cauliflower or sweet potatoes.

  2. This looks Amazing!! Thank you Heidi!! Awesome recipe for me to share with everyone following your Bod-e Challenge 🙂

  3. Oh this looks so good. Going to have to make it! Nice to have good friends that can cook. We live with my mother(a multi-generational home) and share the cooking. My mom also enjoys eating healthy so we have a great time cooking together and enjoying each others cooking.
