Notes

Use chopped frozen vegetables that contain some peas, corn and carrots. If you can obtain the frozen veg with chopped potato included that would be good.  OR use left over vegetables from a previous meal. 

Turmeric contains curcumin which is a powerful anti-inflammatory compound. Helps reduce inflammation related to arthritis and diabetes and other diseases. (use whole wheat choices for wraps and tortillas)
