Prep Notes
I created this on Thursday, March 9th, 2017...It was a gorgeous spring day. The sun was bright, the air was crisp, you could smell the forsythia's blooming. I had on my light blue suede mules on "yeah I was ready for SPRING"!
I wanted something for dinner light, quick and of course pretty.
I love herbs all kinds dill, cilantro, thyme, basil, holy basil, rosemary, etc. When you add herbs to a recipe, it freshens it up, brightens it up adds a little color and I love colorful food. Plus all the extra health benefits.
