About

It doesn’t get more simple, straightforward, and nourishing than these. Stock up on these ingredients in preparation for a busy weekend—you will be so glad you did. There are so many ways to eat and enjoy them that I wanted to share two versions in the photo to give you some inspiration. If you don’t want to use chicken, this works well with Perla’s Perfect Salmon or with a vegan protein.
