I know winter foods can sometimes be less colorful than the beautiful and fresh foods of Summer, but I found part of this recipe on my fitness streaming service (Beachbody) and yes, even with me changing somethings by adding or taking away items it got me thinking of a nice winter Buda bowl. This winter bowl is not only full of color but so very tasty with 15 grams of protein and is loaded with fiber.
Plus, with this being the Monday after the Super Bowl maybe we should call this a superbowl wink wink with winners all around because you get a nice healthy dinner after all the Super Bowl party eating you may have done.
