I made & served this as indicated in the recipe, using another chef's recipe #341928, & IT'S GREAT TASTING! Next time, though, I'll wrap the whole thing in a soft home-made tortilla before serving! Thanks for a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]

I am new to the stay-at-home mom thing. So I am finding that I have some time to cook now. My husband usually does all the cooking and he is verry good at it, I am still learning if you know what I mean. I enjoy bakeing goodies more than main dishes. I have recently started to take pictures of my husbands and my own cooking creations as well as typeing up the reciepies to place in our personal cookbook. I find recipe zaar helpfull when I am looking for Ideas for supper. I look through recipies for inspiration, then just start cooking, giving things my own take.
