I'm not going to give this any stars until I make it again because I messed it up. I had put them together the night before but we didn't get around to eating them the next day, so I stuck them in the freezer for a few days. When I finally baked them, they were really soggy. In retrospect, perhaps my mistake was that I let them thaw before baking. Maybe they would have been better if I had baked them right out of the freezer. Anyway, I think they would have been really good if not so soggy, so I just didn't want anybody else to make the same mistake! -
I really liked this dish. My girlfriend is all into health food, and she found it and made it. I didn't know healthy food good taste so good!
