This recipe just keeps making the rounds in my house. It’s a simple 1 pot meal and super tasty! I have served it up as-is, with toppings, and in a roasted acorn squash bowl and it’s good every time. It also has the added bonus of being rich and full of flavor without the dairy! I love this for a quick lunch or busy weeknight meal.
I love that you can keep this low carb, or add some carbs by serving it up in a squash bowl or over a baked sweet potato (pro tip – prep these ahead for the week). Serve according to your favorite macro ratios. I personally find that on days I’m more active, my body definitely prefers more carbs versus days where I’m more sedentary and I feel best lower carb. I am all about intuitive eating and I don’t think you have to approach food as an all or nothing mentality (i.e. low carb all the time).
Here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does!
