For dinner, we enjoyed this dish as dessert with a little ice cream. For breakfast, I enjoyed this with part skim ricotta cheese and a glass of skim milk.
We enjoyed another dish from Food and Wine Magazine for dinner as well-Red Wine BBQ Chicken. Also on the platter were fresh green beans and twice baked red potatoes. I cut up chicken thighs for the entree.
I welcome the spring weather and love working outside in the morning then preparing a delicious dinner in the afternoon. We'll have to make these again!
