Recipe

did you ever make something - hope for the best and get it? PLus more???

Greg is the chef in our family - I am what I call 'a functional cook.' I can make plenty - and I do... most of the time in 30 minutes or less... look out Rachel Ray - I may be next ;)

But this week - Greg handed over a recipe from Sunset Magazine - August 2010 and said - "hey I bought all the ingredients... I thought you'd want to try this one." Hmmm... I was nervous. But I did have the time since I don't teach on tuesday nights usually...

Oaaahhhhh - it was good. and Fairly low-fat (I counted my Weight Watchers and planned for it - each serving is about 10 points. - hefty but a whole meal unto itself)

Here it is - you should try it!!!
