Brian and I were just talking the other day about how we need to make these again. We used to make them all the time but we haven't made them since moving back to NY. We'll have to make them soon because they are delicious!
ReplyDeleteI miss you soooo much! Remember how much fun we had those few months working out and trying all those yummy recipes with purees?!? I'm finally getting back into all that stuff and loving it! Just made chicken parm last night with a broccoli puree in the breading. So yummy!
