"This 4-ingredient recipe is surprisingly yummy, while being pretty healthy too. It's great for those long days when you're hungry and tired and sleepy all at the same time and longing for a quick, simple, satisfying meal. I made this tonight after returning from college really late, and it gave me just the boost I needed!"
