"Where have you been hiding this recipe?" my youngest son demanded when he twirled up his first bite.
"Gosh, I don't know. I used to make it for Tom when we were first married as kids. It happened to be one of his favorites," I replied.
"Well, you have to make this more often. It's amazing!"
It really is. Thrifty by nature, yet deeply satisfying. A meal that will truly humble you with your first bite.
