And I have been trying to figure out how she made it so I can replicate it for my 6 year old since he is obsessed with the colossal squid. I can't figure out the head though. Did you make the top layer the squid shape and the inner layer a hood shape? And then did you jus put stuffing in between. What's bothering me is whether the stuffing moved around too much. Did it fall down from the top of the cone to the sides of the head? How did you get it to stay there?smooze13https://www.blogger.com/profile/10826788531992065207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700581177658111193.post-58096411589071822852013-06-08T22:35:28.774-07:002013-06-08T22:35:28.774-07:00LOL...your fast dinners are nearly identical to mi...LOL...your fast dinners are nearly identical to mine!

I just found your blog on DALS (which I also just found!), and funny thing, I'm also a mom in San Francisco who recently started a blog with weekly dinner menus! This could either make us BFFs or enemies, not sure which, but I'm going with at least blog colleagues.

I think it was the cinnamon that turned him off. I also used dark red kidney beans instead of black beans but over all I enjoyed it. I also made the apricot mustard chicken and we all loved it! I used drumsticks since that's what I had in the freezer and we all deemed this one a keeper! A nice little smiley face has gone beside this recipe in the book. :-)Reynaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598206024345167330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700581177658111193.post-47250924915453237992013-01-28T08:56:19.315-08:002013-01-28T08:56:19.315-08:00I am so glad you liked it!
