I mentioned this recipe on my Facebook page a few days ago, and several people asked me for a recipe so I thought I would share. While I fully recognize that this is in no way real estate related, I still think you would appreciate this mouthwatering recipe. Travis made it for us several weeks ago and it has quickly become an household favorite. The whole family loves it. To please both a 4 year old and our nearly 2 year old toddler and be something super tasty and different; that’s a win in my book.

Travis has been getting the Cuisine at Home books for some time now, and it seems they never disappoint. I would highly recommend them, as there are always great tasting, usually easy, homemade recipes that have always been tasty.

Try it. Tell me what you think.
