To say I am simply overwhelmed with emotions is an understatement. This week I’ve learned a lot and have been touched by the support and kindness of my fellow foodies and community. Both friends and strangers alike have reached out to show their support of our brand and Healthy On You® spices. With everything going on I needed a mental health day so I turned on my Healthy On You cooking playlist 🎶 and made these amazing turmeric ginger-spiced grilled chicken skewers. It was so tasty with our Here Comes the Yum spice blend and yogurt in a marinade. As a side dish, I added the same spice blend to the water in my rice and added leftover cooked lentil at the end.😋 It was just what I needed to relax and enjoy a home-cooked meal. Now that summer is upon us, go ahead and give this tasty recipe a try. It’s perfect for a BBQ if you double or triple the recipe but just as good for a dinner for two…especially in these times!
