100% fav Food Hero recipe!! And I love that it uses an ingredient that is low cost and I hadn't used before. I couldn't belive from the taste that it was really healthy?!?! It is a comfort food as another commentor mentioned. I had to look at the nutrition info, and yes it really is healthy, low fat, and a good source of calcium, A and C!! I will make this again and again!!
