Well, I seem to take a lot of vacations from Blogging. I do miss it. And, I miss cooking. I haven't had a ton of time lately because of color guard.
But, I have made this recipe a few times and my family loves it. I either use beef or chicken. We just make them last night and they were yummy. Enjoy!
