"This is one of those recipes that evolved over time. It is adapted from a recipe I got from my mother-in-law many years ago. I simplified the preparation and changed some of the ingredients to match our Nutritarian eating style."

In 2011, I saw a PBS Special, 3 Steps to Incredible Health by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It inspired me to change to a Nutritarian cooking style, which focuses on the nutrient density of the foods you eat. Since that time, I have been collecting recipes. I have found a few recipes ready to go but most of them were either too complicated for everyday use or needed some changes to fit with this eating style.
