For Valentine’s Day, I have two recipes that ANYONE can cook. I feel it is very important that you show the people that you love (sweethearts, family and friends) that you think they are important. Surprise your loved ones with a great dinner. Last week’s recipe was Cherry Chocolate Cake. This week’s is as easy as you can get, if you can make scrambled eggs you can make this. I tried to get everything in this dish pre-made, and that is what makes it so easy. Special thanks to Sam Montoya for helping Read More
