Submitted by jerzgirl514

"A creation of mine mixing about three different recipes found on the internet. I am always on the hunt for something that my ridiculously extremely picky husband and son would eat that could help supply them with nutrients they may not otherwise consume. This was a big hit between them, which for me, is a win! Feel free to improvise and substitute!"
