This looks so delicious!! I’m going to have to make this over the weekend. Although since it’s just me and the husband, I should probably make a little less!! =]
You’re right. You probably should make less, it is good, but I don’t think you want to eat it for the next month! Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
