I am not a whiz in the kitchen by any means. I have never done a lot of cooking, (I like to stick to baking) but I am trying to learn. Every time I see a recipe that I think I will like, I pull it out. You should see my cupboard. I try to keep them all organized, but there are a gosh darn lot of them in there. Let’s be real most of them are desserts, but I could use some three ring binders to keep them in order, so if you are looking to get rid of some, I’m just saying I could put them to good use =)
Moving on...I pulled this out of All You magazine just a couple of weeks ago. I happened to make it for dinner because I had all the ingredients on hand (this happens a lot). Let me just say, I wish I could make this every week. It’s great. Even D loved it! And he hates everything ;) I think I should start a special tag for all the food I make that he actually likes. If you don’t trust my taste, maybe you will trust his.
