It was delicious, and I can't believe I actually made it!
You see I love to bake, and most days I am pretty good at it, but making a meal to eat...I pretty much suck at it.
Generally, Rhett will suck it up and eat whatever I make, because he doesn't want to upset me (the time he ate the White Chili with the crunchy beans comes to mind). And then there was the one time he just couldn't do it, he flat out couldn't finish my concoction, because he would vomit in the process.
But tonight...he ate it! AND when back for generous seconds!
It was super easy and if you like something with a little spice to it, you must try it!

Mmm, that sounds delicious! Thanks for passing it on!
The crunchy beans!!! Hahahaha.
Anyway, I think with cooking: practice makes perfect (especially if you have a good recipe.) Will definitely have to try this one.
Good job girl..I can bake but def. not cook! :)
yummy! those look so good! I am just now starting to cook well, and we've been married about 2 1/2 years!!! My sister-in-law made me a cookbook with all of Andy's fav recipes from growing up at one of our engagement showers, and like a dummy, I left it on the shelf for 2 years! After much practice this summer. he really enjoys the meals I cook, and so do i! they're all pretty easy! we should do a recipe swap! :)
Sounds great to me...bring me some 4 x-mas.
