"Had a similar dish at this amazing restaurant in Saint Augustine, Florida and had to recreate for home! The restaurant had the traditional paella and a land-lover's version. I'm not a lover of seafood, so here goes... As a note: Pimento, olives, a little cayenne, shrimp (I can't stand the buggers but have added them for my husband), and sliced green onions have all made lovely additions at one time or another."

Learned to cook at an early age out of necessity; was one of 8 kids, all hands on deck, lol. Creating in the kitchen has just become something I love.
