Hey everyone! Happy 2018 :)
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling super excited for a new year. I absolutely love the holidays but definitely ready to start in on my regular workout routine & clean(er) eating.
So with that said... here is a great healthy recipe that is ready for your next potluck!
It's also great because you can double it and freeze half for later. Win win :)
Here is the recipe... I hope you will try it!
