It has been way too long since Lisa and I did some cooking together. We hung out a bit at Rosetta’s last happy hour but it was time to catch up, laugh a lot and cook up some awesome comfort food.
I’m so thankful for my friendship with Lisa. She gets so much joy from cooking, traveling and learning new things. She’s just so damn fun!
Last weekend we made a delicious Moroccan tajine.
I’m not the biggest fan of slow cooking. I usually just want to eat NOW. Lol Since we were sipping wine, laughing a lot and having an awesome conversation (I will post that video in a couple of weeks), it was sooo worth the wait.
Check out the full recipe and video below and tag me on Instagram or Facebook when you make this dish.
