Bottom line is this looks fantastic and I can't wait to make it soon and then again just to make sure that I like it as much as I think I'm going to. Great way to get some macros across the board with this recipe and while still being able to customize with the veggies (broccoli maybe?) of your choice.
Enjoy.
