I am sharing a recipe right now that my husband actually enjoys.
It is a very adaptable recipe. As an illustration, it contains spinach, however you can positively go away it out if your loved ones just isn’t a fan. Need extra cheese? You’ll be able to add it! Do not have an egg? I’ve made it with out, and it turned out advantageous. Need to add mushrooms? You are able to do that too! Chop them and prepare dinner with the onions and sausage. I minimize this recipe down by 3/4 all the time – no points in any respect.
**A fast printing word: Blogger (which is the host for this weblog) doesn’t provide a “print recipe” possibility so I’ve included a photograph of the recipe under that it’s best to be capable of click on on and print at 100% (or larger in case you favor the textual content bigger).
I hope you get pleasure from it!
