Howdy, Miss Kelly! This recipe is quite delicious. As much as I find it rather annoying when folks make skatey-eight changes and then review, I must admit to making 1 minor adjustment...I omitted radishes due to preference. Oh, and I used jarred garlic rather than mincing fresh. Also, FYI, this recipe can be found at MyRecipes.com which says it came from Cooking Light May 2004. Thanks for sharing here - this is my fave site!
