About


 In my efforts to try and make it feel like Spring I found an awesome recipe in my Mr. Food Weeknight Quickies cookbook. When I started to read this recipe all that came to mind was having tons of friends over and serving this meal up spread out on old news paper like I see on TV. I love how simple the ingredients are and that the entire flavor comes from the spice bag you cook it in. One look at the final dish I swear I could feel the warm sun shining on my face and a slight Spring breeze blowing through my hair.
