My boss is very generous. Every time I stop by her apartment, she insists on feeding me. The first time this happened, she prepared a Blue Apron meal. Blue Apron is a food subscription service that sends you fun recipes and the ingredients necessary to prepare that meal. Pretty cool.

This recipe is a variation of the Blue Apron meal we had. It’s a great dish to make if you need to get rid of vegetables in your fridge. I actually didn’t intend for it to be “rainbow” colored. The first time I made it, I used standard vegetables, but when I happened to go to the grocery store this week, everything was out of stock, so I ended up with a very colorful dish. Tastes great both ways!
