Is “epically delicious†a proper term used to describe food? Who cares. My taste buds feel the way they feel, ok?!
This recipe came out SO bomb and was made on the fly. I love when a recipe hits home without having to adjust a darn thing. Soooo flavorful and a great meal to prep at the beginning of the week to eat on for a few days. Feeds 4!
Let’s make it!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 white onion, diced
