RATE: ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💲💲

A healthy choice! Im not a big fan of Michelle Bridges, in fact Im not a fan at all! But her cookbook is very good.

There is a lot of work in preparing this dish but that’s what it’s all about when we choose to eat healthy and fresh! Love, love my fresh herbs! Fresh herbs is a dish turner. When in doubt, add a little more I say!

Delicious and worth making!

Enjoy
