I took a picture!

Hooray for this food blog-- there are already a few recipes that I've got to try! So here's a healthy recipe for anyone trying to make a delicious healthy dinner for your family. Levi doesn't eat it very well because it has so many vegatables in it-- but as for Jer and I we love it. And we feel good eating it. It does have a unique taste-- more like a curry. So if you're not a fan of healthy and curry this is not the recipe for you. Also, the adamame has like 6 grams of fiber per half cup-- so I guess you could say its really good for you (you can make it with chicken instead if you do not want to go all vegetarian. I hope you try it and add some vegetables to your life.
