I must say, I absolutely LOVE when my mom comes to visit! My mom is so creative when it comes to cooking, she is always making me new dishes! Today she whipped up a delicious Lentil, Spinach and Bok Choy Stir Fry full of flavor. This dish is vegetarian or you can add protein like chicken/fish as desired. I decided to saute two chicken breast (diced) in olive and spices. Enjoy!
