It's baaaack!


I was drawn to this meal because I always have all the ingredients on hand {with the exception of the olives}. I will keep making this meal because it was delicious!! I thought, because of the handiness of the ingredients, that this would be one of those good meals when I was in a pinch and needed to throw something together quickly; but oh no, this will definitely be a planned dinner often!
