This looks so delish! I am so printing this one out and making it asap!
Just in time, I was searching for a great meal to bring with me out to the beach – overlooking the sunset – to bring that of a very special female. And this is a great addition, this would go great with my Lemon Rice with Lemon Wine Sauce.
This looks so yummy and is a combination I would have never thought of. Definitely have to give it a try.
