superb, but oh my, the guilt! i vowed i wouldn't have a second portion of this but it was so good i couldn't help myself - so here i am just back from the gym after trying to work off the guilt! i left out the mushrooms, since it was already filling enough. great recipe. i love it but will NOT be making it often (repeating to self).
