So...was it a hit? I want to know if it is good before I try making it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I thought I responded to this!
ReplyDeleteYes, we did like it! Acadia rated it 4 (out of 5) stars and said it would have gotten 4 1/2 stars if it didn't have the white kidney beans in it. ;) I would have preferred less cilantro, but that's because I'm not a huge fan of it. Even still, it was tasty. So, if you like tomato and cilantro, you will really like this!
