Confession, I made the cakes on Friday afternoon, … Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken Bake
Please don’t be offended by the title of this recipe. It may not have all the love that a typical Paella has, or all the work of a true Paella. But this was pretty yummy and it had the feel of Paella, minus a few of the usual ingredients; I wasn’t going out to the store for mussels but that would have been a great … Continue reading Weeknight Paella
