I made this meal one night using all the leftovers in my fridge & what sounded good together and this is now ONE OF MY FAVORITES 🙌 this meal goes to show that you can get really creative with the last end of your groceries. No joke, this is my new favorite meal.
This meal has it all (Stephan from SNL voice). Sweet potato noodles, antioxidants from pomegranate seeds, rich flavor and protein from Italian sausage, and vitamins/minerals from kale.
