But let's be honest... Husbands can be like children sometimes. They put their dirty laundry on the floor 6 inches away from the dirty clothes hamper. They can't seem to remember where they put their hat, or their shoes, or their favorite camouflage shorts. They complain when they get boo boos. And they don't like trying "new" foods, especially when said "new" foods contain healthy vegetables that may not have been in their food repertoire for the last 30 odd years (read: artichokes, mushrooms and olives).

And all I can say is, my overall right/wrong record increased by one more right that night. When he walked in the front door and said, "Wow, something smells really good!", there's a slim chance I gloated. I can't say for sure though.
But needless to say, Mike LOVED this dinner. It's FULL of flavor and so quick and easy to make. Hey, maybe you can even trick your kids into eating it too!
