This looks so good! I went out and bought the ingredients yesterday and plan on making it for dinner tonight. But hey I thought you guys weren't eating meat anymore..?
Since I've been pregnant, I've craved meat. We still don't eat alot of it, but it has made its way back into our diets until the cravings are gone.
