As I impatiently wait for cooler weather, I have been thinking about what kinds of things to make for dinner when it is finally cool enough. I came across this one and it sounds amazing, although possibly heartburn inducing. But let's get real, being in my third trimester, everything gives me heartburn 😓 Since some of you are lucky enough to live in states that actually get Fall and Winter temps, here is an awesome dinner idea for you!
