Since we have been eating in A LOT more recently, I have been getting creative with recipes. This one is by far one of the best new one's we have tried. I noticed the conversation at the dinner table was a lot more hushed last night. My husband was shoveling this dinner down. Finally, he admitted it is one of the best recipes I have made in awhile.

I hope you enjoy!
