This sounded alot better than it was. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't mind blowing either. Just an inbetweener for my family and I. Thanks for the recipe though! -
I made this for a birthday party along with a beef lasagna and this one definately won everyone over! Not too spicy like you might expect, very tasty indeed!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
