    I was thinking the same thing that this would be great for dinner one night. Mostly because my husband leaves for work so early in the mornings and is often on call at the hospital on the weekends so dinner is the perfect time for us to enjoy a meal like this. Thanks so much for sharing it. Can't wait to try it out. #HomeMattersParty

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
