Easy to make and has lots of pantry staples. Very filling, and the bowl was really pretty! I added a slurry of flour and water to thicken it up a bit, but that was personal preference. I topped it with a fat-free yogurt and cilanto sauce and added low-fat cheddar to the top as well. Really hearty and tasty. It kept me nice and full until dinner as well. Next time I make this I will add some chili powder and more cumin because I felt it was a bit bland. Thanks for sharing! Made and reviewd for Healthy Choices ABC game.

Although I love to cook and bake, I'm MOST passionate about my family. Thirteen years ago, I married my best friend, and I believe we love each other more now than ever. We have three (of course, beautiful) children ages 7, 4 and 2 years old. We live in a small town (at almost 7,000 feet in altitude), and are happy to report that we live over 100 miles (one way) from the nearest WALMART! :)

<br>Besides keeping my family and friends well-fed :), I love to read and scrapbook. Our area is very well-suited to outdoor activities, so our family enjoys brisk, long walks or hikes, as well as challenging bike rides through our hilly terrain. (After bearing 3 children - and ESPECIALLY after locating this FABULOUS website - I think I'll have to make a determined effort to concentrate more on the exercise!) ;)
