PAELLA

Today is the day that I feel like cooking a one-pot dish. I had never made Paella before and saw this recipe from Better Homes and Garden’s cooking book. So, I thought…let’s switch gear a bit and make this Spanish-inspired dish. We like it. Not to mention how simple, colorful and nutritious this meal is.
