Review:
I am getting a cold and was sad that I couldn’t taste this meal as well as I wanted to. I asked my husband if it was good and he said that he had a cold too and couldn’t tell. From what I could tell it was very tender and the sauce was beautiful and very thick (thanks to the flour and tapioca). I will give this 4 stars and try it again when my taste buds have returned to their full tasting power. *Update* My husband had the leftovers when he was feeling better and he said that it was “freaking awesome.”
Made this for supper last night… was excited to try it but unfortunately I was not terribly impressed. Found it WAY to salty – added some peanut butter to try to take it down a bit but didn't seem to help. Would probably not make it again.
looks like a delicious meal my daughters would love it come see me at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
