This is definitely going into my favorite recipes list, but for a new-to-cooking mom like me, it sure is a chore to get it all together. I PREFER one pot meals, and crock pot meals, because I don't always have the spoons for this many steps, but once it was all said and done, it was well worth the work. It just won't be a SUUUPER regular meal for this fam, it's gonna be a bit more for special occasions.
