I made this to go with Lemon Peppered Grilled Shrimp and it was a great side. It's easy to throw together during the week, and I see myself using this often as a side for my meals. Yum!

I love to try new recipes and often try so many new recipes that I forget about all the great ones I've already made. My focus in cooking is to cook healthy and lower in fat without compromising the taste of the food.
