It was less tasty than I thought it would be, but ok. I'll try it again, though, and see if it was just a one time thing. -
This recipe sounded so good I had to try it and because i love blueberries.The meat was different but tasty, I was skepical about the salsa. I was suprised about the taste. It was very good on the french bread. I enjoy the meal. chef#220151
