sounds pretty good. I would probably add a bit of chicken or something to increase the protein ... i think i might even try it this upcoming week.

I also thought the protein would be to low in this recipe, but if you look at it...25g of protein to 30g of carbs and 4.5g of fat....the way I normally eat I would have to add carbs and fat to be within my usual ratio. if you try it, please let me know how it is. My fridge is still full of stuff that I have to use first.
