It’s been a long time since we’ve had any savory supper dishes around here. I used to publish a lot of these when I initially began the site. I had meant to continue working with them, but sweets took over. It’s understandable since I adore them, but we can’t all live on cake. Sadly.
So I’m thrilled to share this recipe with you today. It’s not only tasty, but it’s the first of a series of savory recipes I’ll be serving this year. And what about you?
