This was very nice, light and fresh and healthy tasting. I threw in a couple handfuls of baby spinach at the last minute, just for the color. -
This was perfect for the meal I served. The only change I made was to sub. an unbroken dried Thai pepper for the crushed red, fished out before serving. Served with #102594 Chicken & Apple-Ham Stuffing (Bon Appétit 11-03)

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
