This is the best appetizer in the whole wide world. It is delicious! And the best part? You can whip this up in under 30 minutes. I love these yummy delights that I can make for my husband and I, and over wine discuss the day before our main dinner is pulled out of the oven.
It’s perfect!!
Make some, PPM for 2, part of your menu planning and you’ll have not only the best time catching up on your day with your man, but you’ll be able to try gourmet foods throughout the week that you normally wouldn’t be able eat because of all the picky eaters…
