My family and I decided to have an outdoor movie night in our backyard & wanted an easy & fun, yet still nutritious meal to enjoy the movie with. I chose to make this recipe that I had been working on for a bit, especially because it’s a finger food & feels like naughty food, but it’s so nutritious & delightful! It was a hit with my family & hope you find it’s a hit for you & yours. Enjoy!
