Nicole,
I made this last week when my wife went out for the evening.
After I put my 10month old to bed, I went to town trying this recipe out. Was amazing and was really great the next day as well.
So tonight I’m making this for my wife..
Great recipe and I hope you don’t mind, but I’m totally going to take credit for the recipe with my wife.(Sorry;))
Haha, you should definitely take credit for the recipe! I’m so glad that you enjoyed this dish and I hope your wife does too. Have a wonderful week, Ben!
