Dinner!

Photo from thepioneerwoman.com

People have been asking me about if I have had cravings, and I answer no not really. I've eaten A LOT of fruit, but I am realizing the past week or two that when I get an idea in my head about what I want for dinner that I HAVE to have it or I'm reallly disappointed! AND I start thinking about it around 9:00 in the morning...haha :)

So here is what I am planning for tonight! It's from the Pioneer Woman (she is awesome) her recipes are fantastic - some are crazy unusual or a little complex and some, like this one, are totally easy. She is so funny, gives fun advice on makeup, clothes, etc., her confessions are hilarious and she really makes me want to live on a farm :) Definitely check out her site if you haven't before: http://thepioneerwoman.com/
