What Are You Making For Dinner Tonight?
As some of you may know, I am always trying new recipes and techniques in cooking. Last night I made Creole Shrimp and Sausage Stew from a recipe I found in a Cooking Light magazine. It is super easy to make, about 10 minutes preperation and about 15-20 minutes to make. And, it was soooo good and healthy! Try and out and let me know what you think:
Warm up cool evenings with a delicious stew that's just as delicious on its own as it is when ladled over rice. Serve with crusty bread and hot sauce.
