Gailanng, I made this as directed, other than having to change the vegetables .... I didnt realise that broccoli was in short supply currently, and I only had green peppers ... I'd like to try this again with red pepper, simply for the colour, but I confess I enjoyed the mushrooms I used in this dish. Otherwise I made this dish as directed, yum, so rich and creamy, very much the kind of meal I enjoy and definitely a good supper to look forward to after a long day! I had some garlic bread in the fridge which topped the meal off wonderfully!<br/>Thank you, much enjoyed, made for Oz/NZ Reunion tag game, November 2011

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
