This was quick and easy. As long as you like the taste of blue cheese you'll love this dish, because it really stands out! -
I tried it once with bleu cheese, but the family pretty much ixnayed it right off. I liked it, but they think I'm weird that way. Bleu cheese is sharp and it dominated the meal too much. I diced up some left over chicken and mixed it in for lunch the next day. Yum. The second time around, I switched the bleu cheese with 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup feta (oh, what we do with ingredients on hand). This version was milder and it went very well with a salad and grilled chicken. I think that next time I use it as a side dish, I'll be able to add herbs/spices that will compliment the main course.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
