Thursday, February 17th, 2011

These were my favorite nachos so far. They were the least favorite of my kids, but they ate every bite and And Sugar Daddy worked tonight, so he didn’t get to try them. I like dishes with a lot of texture, color, and taste. This fit the bill perfectly. I would have preferred shredded chicken [...]
