ReplyDeleteP.S. Gotta go play catch up. I've been having the hardest time trying to find time to comment lately. Hope you're doing good!
I love me some spaghetti squash. I have one sitting on my counter right now waiting to be dosed with pesto from my freezer! Can't wait to see yours!
ReplyDeleteMMM I would love the recipe for that short rib chili. We are on a quest to find the best chili. We have made one so far and I wasn't too impressed, and I have another one on the meal plan this week. Yours sounds so tasty! I love short ribs :)
