Notes

Seasoning is to taste and done with love. Measurements are always general in term when it comes to spices. Find what works with your pallet. 
You can also swap out vegetables for what you have on hand as this is a versatile dish and  healthy as well being packed with nutrients.
The fiber is also good for gut health and will keep you full longer.
Eat to live and eat until you are full.
