I love a good paella like anyone but cooking dishes from scratch isn't an option on many days and that's when a frozen dinner comes in handy.

Frozen dinners get a really bad rap because they're often loaded with calories, calcium and taste rather bland. I assure you, this frozen dinner is none of those things.

This past month, I questioned who I was and after lengthy self-deliberation, daily TED videos & inspirational music (linked below), I found her.
