I just enjoyed one of the best weeks I have in some time. One of my best friends came down from Virginia to celebrate our birthdays. Being only 6 days apart, we find it easy to have a birthday week instead of just one day.
Well you all might remember that Derek likes to contribute recipes here once in a while. This week I got lucky and not only got contributes, I got the food as well. I came home from work one night to find this along with his Chickpea-Feta-Tomato Salad.
He told me he found this recipe on the internet but can’t remember where. I am sure you all will enjoy this dish. I know it didn’t last long here with the three of us. Let me know what y’all think and leave a message for Derek as well.
