The 4th Annual Homegrown Recipe Contest keeps rolling along and my kitchen is a mess! A lovely mess, that is.
The recipe I’d like to share with you today was submitted by one of our winners from last year, Roxanne of New York! This recipe contains possibly one of my fave ingredients of all time: fresh goat cheese. For those of you who have tried it, you know exactly what I’m talking about. For those of you who haven’t, you must. This recipe is so wonderful, so comforting, it’s hard to determine if it would be best served as a main course at the dinner table or saved for a delicious desert after the meal!
