This dish is an easy way to infuse your body with nutrients without spending all evening in the kitchen. Sherry is a huge fan of this healthy hash, especially during treatment when taste buds can take a hit. Be good to yourself and pledge to try even a few bites. If you’re going through treatment, conserving your energy while preserving your health is key. Avoid crowds (and germs) by using a car-side pickup or delivery service to make ingredient grabbing easy – and don’t feel guilty buying already diced veggies. You deserve to make life easy on yourself!
