I have been saving your recipes since 2019 and I must say that they have made my days. I am 82, semi handicapped and can still cook. Cooking has always been something I’ve done well. Your recipes have given me a lift as they are new and fresh and wonderful. Likewise, you are a Southern girl and Southern girls know good recipes.
Keep up the good work!!!
Cooking it right now almost done hope it comes out yummy!��
Could you omit the chicken and leave the other ingredients the same? I'm not vegetarian, but looking for a few meatless options.
AmandaB – sure. Enjoy!
