SO HOW'D IT GO?
Thanks for this recipe! It is so fast and easy, and really tasty. Minimal cleanup a bonus :> My whole family devoured it. I used pumpkin pie spice but no extra cinnamon, and it was very balanced. I also added a bit of sea salt before the last toss. I think dried or fresh cranberries would also be a good addition here. Great holiday dish!
