Last week we built a recipe on my Nutri-Savvy FB page, starting with: CORN. Our weekly game is called: “BUILD-A-RECIPE Monday”. Each person adds an ingredient until, well, we have enough. You never know which direction the recipe is going and there are so many options. Tovah Terranova was ready to take on the challenge and here’s the awesome dish she came up with:
