Hello Everyone. It a new month. So that means it time for a monthly recipe. Which today recipe is prefect for the up coming summer months. When hubby find this recipe I wasn't to sure about making it . I decide I would go ahead and give it a shoot. Which I'm happy I did. This is so easy to make and super yummy. 

I made this the last week we were in a house in Michigan. We were able to get 4 or more meals out of it.  I can't wait to make this again for my new friends. 

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY AND WEEKEND
