I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

ReplyDeleteFound another awesome salad for you to try: Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad. I suppose you could leave out the bacon or maybe add in a tiny bit of the pre-made ones from Costco OR add in more protein from chopped, grilled chicken breast.

Here's a delicious sounding recipe for Turkey Taco Bowls. I believe that you could make cilantro lime quinoa instead of rice. Sounds like it would totally work.

Lolita, I miss your updates. Are you still doing the Daniel Plan? Here's another recipe that I thought would fit in to the plan. I wonder if you could make these on the grill. Sound really delicious to me!
