When my children were small they always would run up and ask me what I was cooking and generally I would respond with "whatever comes out of the pot", that always made them giggle. This was always their favorite to "come out of the pot" and as teenagers they still ask me for this dish. I hope you enjoy and can make some fun memories with this dish.
