Read...



I found this recipe when searching for Whole30 approved meals. I changed a couple things, like leaving out the peppers. I'm not huge on super spicy things, but I'm sure it would taste amazing. She has a beautiful website with so many creative recipes. She also has some delicious side dish ideas.
