Tried this recipe? That's awesome!Mention @hostessatheart or tag #hostessatheart!

This dish was beyond delicious! That sauce is smooth and creamy and the lemon and herbs elevate this dish beyond ordinary. I will definitely be putting this dish to my list of favorites. It wasn’t a hardship having the rest of the wine with dinner either.

It’s always fun to share so let’s head over to Fiesta Friday and Saucy Saturdays!

      Thank you, Loretta! Great minds or at least tummy’s think alike! I just loved your dish and I’ll be trying it too. I love the holidays but why does it seem like there are illness, accidents, and deaths this time of year? I guess it just makes you appreciate what’s really important like friends like you!!!
