This recipe came to me as I was trying to decide how to feed my empty belly on a night when all I wanted to do was go to bed and not cook another thing. I found all the ingredients for this recipe sitting in my fridge or cupboard and was able to satisfy my hunger in a healthy, feel good way. It is worth a try!
