Frogmore Stew

I've been wanting to try this recipe for quite some time now. It's really so simple and I knew the idea of it would appeal very much to our boys. The rules with Frogmore Stew is to get a newspaper and dump it all in the center of the table and eat it with your hands only. How could skipping utensils NOT appeal to boys? Believe it or not, I had no newspapers so we had to settle for paper towels. I can't tell you how many times Landon said he looooved it...it was really quite cute how excited he was about it as was Liam. Loren was his usual reserved self. :) Here's the recipe:
