Still getting back into my routine this week. It was definitely hard going back to work after a glorious week off, but I have to do it to make these next 6 months go by fast. I also need to get back to cooking, but for some reason I haven't been in the mood. Sounds awful I know. I really need to pick it up. Pretty sure when I get into my first recipe I will get back into the groove of cooking almost every day. Just need that big ol' push!
This dish was simple and spicy. Great flavors and full of nutrition!
