Happy early Easter! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!! I’m currently enjoying a fun vacation, but I’ll be back on Monday. As soon as I can get some of the trip post done on my travel blog I’ll share them with you. I originally made this dish during Lent, and then had the leftovers with our Sunday Steak Night as a side dish. I thought it was ok, I think it needs more seasoning, and since I didn’t use enough bread and dumped all the liquid in it was a little eggy. Not 100% sure I’ll make this again, but if I do I’ll cook it out on the BBQ pit, smoking it makes everything taste better haha.
