Hey Nancy!
I’m really glad it calls out to you. It’s pretty much a crowd pleaser (with the exception of a few picky kids!) Give me a call if you have any questions about it. Also, let me know if you have a request for a new spin on one of your favorite ingredients or produce to cook with. All of these recipes are mine, or old french family recipes – so have fun. Awesome to hear from you!
