Hey y’all from a rainy rainy rainy Atlanta!!!  Whew!  I certainly don’t want to complain as our flowers and yard love the extra love but my morning and evening commutes sure don’t love the extra water on the roads!  It’s days like today where I am thankful for easy and healthy recipes that I can whip up in a jiffy!

Speaking of easy and healthy recipes, I was recently chatting with a friend who loves to bake yummy goodies but is learning to love the cooking side of the kitchen.  She said that she finds it challenging to find recipes that don’t have a laundry list of ingredients and too many steps.  I thought that this recipe for One Pot Spicy Beef Bowls would be a perfect one for both needs – easy/healthy and less than 10 ingredients.  You could easily substitute the lean ground beef with ground chicken breast or ground turkey breast or even as a vegetarian/vegan offering with tofu.

Here you go y’all!  Enjoy!!!
