     I'd love to say this was a super hit lmbo but it got mild reviews. I liked it but not something I would want every day...Steve barely ate any of it lol But I have been keeping up my deal of one new recipe every week or so. Thankfully I love to cook, love new ideas and I'm not too afraid to try things :)
