I made the recipe for the pick your chef game. I didn't realize until I started making that the recipe was for 1 serving!!So my DH got most of the dish.He says--fresher than my usual canned refried beans!! LOL.I used chicken broth instead of vegetable,only because I didn't have the vegetable broth. I did have to use an extra 1/3 cup of the broth,dryed out quickly. Thank you for posting. -
Yum!!! I used chicken stock (all I had) and parsley in place of the cilantro and it was great. Thanks for the goodie, Trixie!
