This was sooo easy and so yummy. Seriously. My tummy did a little happy dance when I was eating it. In fact, it was so well liked it was scarfed before I could take a picture! I have some packed away for my lunch today at work and I'll see if I can take a snappie then. Make this and then let me know how you like it!! Really. Try it. heh

Btw there is a new theme that will be running through my blog. Low calorie! I am edging toward a healthier diet as well but it's slow going. Right now I am focusing on low calorie. I've lost 40lbs since February and have a lot more I want to lose so this is my main focus in my cooking now.

That sounds delish!
I found a new website that I am going to try to utilize for my cooking blog...it is called yummr.com. I will send you an invite if you want to look it over and join. If not, just ignore the invite.
Congrats on the weightloss! Keep up the good work.
Glad to see you back to posting here. :o)
