{recipe} Cran-Apple Chicken Quinoa Bowl

We love, love, love hearing from women over and over about how much they love the food in our 14-Day Reset and about how the program changes their relationship with eating and cooking...

 

The food was the bomb! I love every part of this program but the food! The big thing is it’s stuff I would have not known how to cook or which spices to use so the bonus is I am learning to love the kitchen instead of feeling like it’s a chore.
