"Original calls for skin-on, bone-in but I switched to boneless skinless to really make this low fat. Have served both ways...delicious either way. If I'm in a hurry I puree all veggies and garlic together."

I LOVE to cook...it is very relaxing to me. A big THANKS to all the cooks on this web site for sharing their recipes and always giving me wonderful meals to make. Our pugs, Norman and Otis are the biggest foodies we will ever know. I'm another one of "those people" that read cookbooks like novels. I'm forcing myself not to buy anymore! because I don't really cook from them I just like to read them. I prefer using my cookbooks and recipes online because they take up less space and are always accessible. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" />
