There are very few dishes I make that I actually came up with on my own, but this is one of them. It was inspired by a meal I had at Bob Evans. Enjoy!

I’ve said before that coming up with new and different dishes to try and that my kids will eat [...]

People often tell me I’m a good cook. Maybe. I do know I can read, and I think if you can read and follow directions, you can cook. My definition of a truly good cook is someone who creates a dish out of thin air–to me, that’s a good cook. I don’t think I’ve ever [...]
