I’ve always been a big fan of cooking. I’ve never done too much of it however because I hate the thought of spending an hour working on something only to devour it in 5 minutes. But I keep clipping out and printing recipes with thoughts of some day trying them. Well folks, today is the day. I am making a concerted effort to prepare new recipes on a regular basis. I kicked it off tonight with the following dish—which I must say was quite delightful!!
