VIBES: CHILDISH GAMBINO “URN”

Im not going to lie. I definitely just made this recipe up. After a few weeks of traveling, craft services, on set catering and mediocre room service, I was craving something really fresh. I had dinner recently at a really great Moroccan spot in Los Angeles, and have been obsessed with incorporating some of those flavors into my home cooking. Ive also been searching for meals to pack for long flights. Airport food is typically SO bad, and I travel often for my day job. It keeps well at room temperature and gets better overnight in the fridge. Leave out the feta cheese and its completely vegan.
