  1. This easy recipe was a nice find for PAC-Fall '08. Because of the small number dining I reduced the recipe. I also elected to replace the tomato with a red bell pepper since I would have leftovers and used black olives. Next time I might add a few more veggies for additional color, but they aren't needed. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
     
  2. This was fabulous! I did add some extra veggies because I was using it as an entree, but I didn't alter it too much. What a simple but tasty recipe! Thank you so much for sharing. Reviewed for PAC 2008.

Hi I am a new mom. I have a 10 week old Daughter named Annabelle who is the love of my life right after my husband Darin who is in the USAF. I have no formal training but I was a cook at the officer's club on base for over a year and I learned a lot and loved it. My favorite cookbook is the joy of cooking. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
