Hi Patty. It has taken me quite a while to figure out how important family time is. In the past, I thought that I had to have everything done and perfect around the house. I now know that our kids are growing too fast and that the dishes in the sink will wait, but time wont.
Well don’t these just look like comfort in a bowl. Great recipe.
