Since today is the release day for Wildcat, I figured I ought to post something spicy. The original recipe came from Allrecipes, but I tweaked it considerably, adding most of the veggies.
When you've had your fill, hop on over to Casablanca Authors for the Wildcat launch party! I'll be giving away a signed copy of Wildcat!
Also, if you get the chance, check out this review of Wildcat!
Remember, the blog tour ends February 28th here on the CBEB with a big party and a giveaway of two full sets of the CSC series!
