Thank you for the update, Sarah!! Happy to know the flavors popped a bit more with time. I still plan to rework the recipe a bit and leverage the input of others' tastebuds, too, but very helpful (and reassuring) to know it brightened up the next day. Thanks as always for your feedback—helps me make better recipes. :)

I was just coming on here to say that it was REALLY tasty the next day. Kind of like chili, all the flavors were better blended together and more pronounced. I would definitely make this again but let it sit a bit before enjoying it. Thanks Ashley!

Hi, Sarah! Oh goodness, I'm so sorry it came out bland for you. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I'll have to retest this one with other tasters to offer input. Pregnancy is a bizarre time for tastebuds, especially since I've had lingering morning sickness into the third trimester—makes everything taste stronger and saltier than it normally does, so I should know by now not to rely on just myself at the moment. Again, thanks for sharing and please accept my apologies for the disappointing recipe.
