It seems to good to be true.  But it ain’tttt. (Insert Victory dance here).

Is there anything Tipps, AKA myself, loves more than a super quick and easy, yet fantastically amazing din? No, not really. Let me just tell you that I made this dish on my lunch break yesterday in record timing so I know for a fact it’s possible! I timed myself from the minute I left the office, made this dish, and scooted back to work and drumroll please……….

One hour & fifteen minutes. That’s straight up efficiency at it’s finest.  Yes, we will ignore the flying arugula all around the kitchen as I was running around trying to get one last pic before heading back.

I also failed to mention I snuck in a brief snuggle sesh with sweet Knoxy while those veggies were roasting.  I just love him and his short fluffy paws so much.
