Continue reading →: Cooking What You Really Have
The last two recipes that I’ve shared have come from the cookbook I received for Christmas, one of Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street books titled Cook What You Have. I like the concept of putting meals together that are based around ingredients you have in your fridge, freezer, or pantry. I’ve…
