We got invited. I had to make dinner at their place. The Spinach Coconut Curry That WON

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: recipe

Happy Monday...

Make It Tonight with a story:

We received a last minute invite to visit friends about 3 hours away. When we arrived, our friends apologized that they didn't have anything for us to eat since they weren't vegan. 

I asked if I could look through their fridge and pantry...

After a quick browse, I decided to make this dish that EVERYONE enjoyed, including our non-vegan hosts. 

It's the Spinach Coconut Curry from the meal mentor app.

Dinner in less than 15 minutes?? 

Amazing. 

p.s. you know they liked it when they asked for the recipe (!!)
