This is my first post, something I threw together to make a quick, healthy(?) dinner for my very picky, very broke family as we moved into our first apartment. I think it came out pretty good, and I'm sure you more experienced cooks out there can improve on it, because I was just spit-balling, really. If you do, be sure to comment or message with your suggestions. Enjoy!
