Healthy and Delicious!
Dinner: quinoa, mung bean sweet potato and collard greens curry, with fresh-baked crusty bread rolls.
If you haven’t noticed yet, I post a lot of curry recipes. This is because I cook a lot of it. It is because curry is super easy! You just throw a bunch of veggies in a pot with some coconut milk, ginger, curry paste and you have dinner! Also, my husband loves it! And, I have to make the hubby happy
