I didn't have high expectations with this one, but, thus far, it has been my favorite recipe I have gotten from this site. My family enjoyed it very much also. Very quick and easy, wonderful taste. Don't think this will fill you though, it's more of a side dish than a main dish in our opinion. Wonderful! Thanks!
