Now that the holiday madness is almost over it’s time for a little comfort food. My daughter Dru, who is a wonderful cook, offered this easy dinner. She
is creative in her use of herbs and spices and never fails to come up with a
mouthwatering meal that is easy to prepare. This is one of our favorites. Studs
and I have prepared many times and will many times more.
