Sorry I've been MIA for a while. Wedding planning took precedence and now that I'm finally settled back into normal life, I thought it was time for The Spotted Fig to make a reappearance! So, with that said, let's get to it!
As far back as I can remember, family dinners in my family were a huge deal. They happened every night around 6pm and if you didn't have sports or school activities to participate in, you were expected to be there. My mom planned the upcoming weeks meals out every Sunday. Of course there were the favorites that frequently appeared on the menu, but there were also "experiments" that were given a shot. I'll have to admit, not all of them were hits, but mom usually has a good eye for food so the ratio was more winners to losers. The recipe below was one of those experiments that turned into a favorite really quickly! Enjoy!
