My husband LOVES lamb. It's his favorite. It just so happens that my two boys also LOVE it. So I can't help but make something for dinner that I know they'll all enjoy. Here is a super, super simple recipe. Just seven ingredients.
Yes, there are other recipes that taste better, have more ingredients and take more time, but that wouldn't be Easy Breezy now would it? :)
