Story behind this Dish:

I am a personal trainer for about a year now and meal prepping is what I do just so I wont get tempted to eat what I am not suppose to. People think that eating healthy just consists of salads and nasty boring food but it certainly does not! Making this with other sides is something I look forward to and it tastes so good. The preparation does not take hours to do you just have to be patient on how you order everything and make sure you have all the ingredients. The preparation translates and symbolizes dedication, focus, and  determine equaling to someone sitting at my table. Preparing and eating this meal- the people who will be sitting at my table will be fitness enthusiasts, trainers, or someone just trying to change their life into a healthier lifestyle!
