As a family we've been really pushing the plant based envelope lately. While I'm definitely NOT ever going strictly vegan or vegetarian; we do enjoy a highly plant based diet. So much so that we're really considering going vegetarian for the month of January to expand our plant based recipe list!
This recipe will definitely be making it onto our table many more times! It turned out great and the kids loved it too!
