  1. Quick and easy. Quantity would only serve 4 people if you were having it as the main dish. I prefer things a little more spicy and found this quite mild.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in KCMO, originally from Michigan. I'm an administrative assistant in the Internal Medicine department of a urban hospital. I married my high school sweetheart on Mackinac Island in August '02. Some of my favorite things to do...baking, snow skiing, camping, hiking, reading, and playing cards with my parents on Sunday afternoons. Someday, after we retire or win the lottery, I hope to live on Mackinac Island or in the UP of Michigan, possibly even open a B&B.
