Great week night dinner! I made a few changes because it was the end of the month and I didn't have a lot to work with. I used salted peanuts, my cream soup was not reduced sodium (I think it should be next time), and I left out the pimientos (don't like them). I doubled the garlic poweder and ginger (we like these flavors) Even though I made major changes, I don't think it changed the basis of the recipe too much. I will make this again, very easy and mostly ingredients that I have on hand. Also, not at all expensive to make either. Thanks Rachie!

I am a married stay at home mom (former teacher) with two little girls. I enjoy cooking but love baking even more! (My husband certainly doesn't complain!) All the girls in my family and I all enjoy exchanging recipes and trying them out on our families. Taste of Home and Betty Crocker were my original kitchen/recipe resources - now I am a Zaar-aholic! I love trying out new recipes and my family does too! It brings me great joy and is a personal goal of mine to be able to offer a meal or a treat to any guest that comes in my door.
