This recipe comes from my childhood. Now we call this kind of food comfort food, but I wonder why we need to make a simple and traditional food more glamour or fancy, why don’t we accept it just the way it is?
I give you this recipe to make the winter warmer, you will after decide if a comfort like this really needs a glamorous make up besides!
