Wow, what a couple of days we have here at Fort Belvoir, VA. We had two days of no power hence no recipes for two days. Once we got the power back and kitchen cleaned up and semi back to normal I was able to cook this yummy recipe from Gooseberry Patch. Now I didn't have the broccoli they called for and so I used black beans and it was still delish!
