Hi friends! I am testing out a new series, “Foodie Fridays: recipes made simple for busy people,” after lamenting and crowd sourcing my struggle to deliver healthy, wholesome meals to my family given our new back-to-school schedule. Yo girl is sick of tacos on Tuesdays and we have something every day of the week. I will be living in my car!

True to form, I surveyed my Instagram fam and you delivered. This recipe was shared by friend: alinochkarudman. Nom nom and enjoy!
