This recipe excites me every time I make it-why, you ask? Well, there are actually several reasons. It is super simple to make and even freezes great for make ahead meal planning (so make two and freeze one) Secondly, it is a recipe my entire family can eat since it is gluten, dairy, and nightshade free. Third, it can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and-lastly, it tastes great hot or cold.
