Not too bad. There isn't a lot of taste to this dish so we were pretty sick of it after eating it for a few days. It makes a lot for two people.

I love my married life and cooking for my husband, Jason! Jason is such a trooper in that he will try just about anything I cook, unless it is liver or contains mushrooms. Finding new recipes that are not to time consuming, are great for our busy lives. I love meeting people that can cook up a good dish that does not include bachelor meals like grilled cheese or hotdogs. (Just kidding....a quick hot dog meal is perfect for hot days!). I tried my hand at canning and so far it has turned out well. Thanks to all of you that have posted a great recipe for canning!
