Looks so good! This is on my "to make" list!
my husband just surprised me and said he's bringing someone from work home for dinner tonight. I am totally going to make this. I think it will be the perfect thing!
super thankful for this blog today!
I made it! it was wonderful! everyone raved...woohoo!
Made this last night - soo good!
Only modification I made was including green pepper because I had one, and I used baby red potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces for the side.
I'll definitely make it again - thanks Katie!
