Introduction

Taught to me on my honeymoon on a Holland of America Cruise. It was a Food and Wine Recipe. The recipe that was printed for us and the one available on the internet was off a bit. The cooking instructor adjusted it and now it's a main stay on our family menu. So good! Taught to me on my honeymoon on a Holland of America Cruise. It was a Food and Wine Recipe.

Ingredients

    Sometimes I substitute some of the vegetables out for others. The other day I didn't have any carrots so I used sweet potatoes and it came out great.
