You know how sometimes you get sick of eating the same stuff over and over...well during the school year that happens to me a lot and since I love to cook and try out new recipes...I decided to take advantage of the fact that I am on vacation and I literally take over the kitchen and I'm the one that cooks! So...since I'm always making new things, I came by this recipe and decided to give it a try. I just adjusted the recipe to 6 portions and gave it my touch. I did it on the stovetop and it came out great. I omitted the mustard and the wine since I didn't have any and I used more sugar to make it sweeter. It was AWESOME!!!! Everyone liked it...even my picky sister! Thanks!!!
