I went to a luncheon last week for work and they served some wonderful food. Sesame crusted tilapia (I’ll be making that soon!), green beans and carrots and adorable bite sized dessert. Being the foodie that I am, my first thought was I need to make that!
Voila. The carrots and green beans made a wonderful accompaniment to the meatloaf I made over the weekend.
