When life gets crazy, make delicious food
I think a lot of people are daunted by making lamb. It seems so…gourmet. But boneless lamb is really easy, so if you’re thinking about trying it for the first time, say, this Easter, DO IT. It’s actually pretty hard to mess up. It’s so tender and flavorful, and oh-so-easy done this way. The only […]
