How are you enjoying your spring? Here in Minnesota we’ve had our nice days and just yesterday snow! But all in all, I’d have to say that spring is well on its way!
I’d like to share one of my lunch dishes this month. It is easy to make, tastes great and is loaded with nutrition! Happy dinning! Until next month, eat healthy, keep moving, and be happy!
