Very different! I like this but as a main dish (which I had for lunch) I'd prefer to add some cubed chicken or something else chewy or crunchy to it. As is, this would be a fun and interesting dish to share at a potluck.

Hi- I'm almost done with my 4th year as a nutrition and fitness major at Colorado State University. I'm a fitness instructor and thoroughly love cooking and making up new recipes and creative combinations. I also enjoy modifying all time favorite foods into healthy all-natural recipes! I'm a semi-vegetarian because l still eat seafood so many of my recipes are vegetarian friendly! However, you can add meat to many of them if you so desire :)
