Today we're cooking up yet another delicious quick fix that is full of color, nutrients, protein, beautiful greens and the best part, it's so easy and quick to make it's sure to start making a weekly appearance in your kitchen.
Just in case you're new to our quick fix recipes, this is your opportunity to hone your "cooking by instinct" skills, since we give you step by step instructions but no measured amounts! Don't worry, I know many of you prefer to follow an exact recipe and we've got so many of those here, but when people ask me what they can start doing today to really improve their cooking, I always mention cooking by instinct.
If you've ever made a dish and added a pinch of this or a sprinkle of that, tasted, adjusted, and got creative by adding something you felt was missing, then you've cooked by instinct.
Today's video is perfect to get started with this style of cooking because there's almost no way to mess this one up. Plus, you'll get familiar with a dish in a completely different way, and you'll be able to repeat it hundreds of times without even having to look up the ingredients. I love it when a dish allows for this. It's perfect for busy weekdays.
Let's get to it shall we? Enjoy your video, recipe and printable below!
