We just finished eating this for dinner. It was very good, although mine did not thicken up at all and I thought it had an overwhelming taste of wine (maybe it was the kind that I used?) so I think next time I make this I'll just use 1 cup of wine instead of 1 1/2. Overall, I thought it was very easy and good! Also, I got most of the ingredients at Aldi :) Thanks for the recipe!

I love to cook. I went to culinary arts school for 2 years. I like to craft, read and listen to music in my spare time. I am addicted to cookbook, but the one I use the most is my Betty Crocker CookBook which I stole from my mother! lol Baking is my passion, although I don't think I do enough of it because I hate cleaning up afterwards. My pet-peeve is someone who is stuck up and think everything is beneath them.
