One of my boys (my young men?) has asked for this recipe several times. I’m glad you like it, Aaron, it was always one of my favorites, also. I really don’t have any philosophical reason to avoid meat — I just don’t like it. I think vegetarian meals, including protein from legumes and grains, is [...]
