With Thanksgiving only a few days away, I’m sure there are many people getting ready to travel! This is a great recipe to help clean out your refrigerator and a few pantry items before you leave. This recipe is full of fresh ingredients and tastes that will keep you full and energized for your day. I suggest adding it to your weekly meal prep every now and then too! I just recently shared this recipe with my sister, Megan, who made it for her two-day school week before she heads out of town! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
