Let me start this post by saying that so far The Skinny Supper Club has been a huge success. All of the recipes have been phenomenal but last night's recipe was my favorite so far and one of the best recipes I have made in a long time.
I decided to try to the Healthy Chicken Quinoa Power Bowl because it was different than anything I had made plus it was gluten free without making any changes.
