Moroccan Calamari

Here is one of the reasons that I love the internet. If you have an ingredient or two- you just plug them into the search engine and you are rewarded with a plethora ( I always look for opportunities to use that word) of recipes.  I usually take a handful and combine them to make my own creation.  Armed with a package if calamari (that I did not want to fry) I began my search.  Lo and behold I came across this recipe for Moroccan Calamari by this girl at her site.  WOW.  Like wow.  SO good.  I never thought I would like calamari in sauce.  It is one of my husbands favorites from growing up.  Me, I have never been a fan of tomatoes with seafood. Thank you for this awesome recipe
