This was yummy and a nice, easy dinner. A little too much oregan for my personal taste but next time I will just cut it in half.

I just made this for a quick sunday night dinner with my roommates - it was fantastic and so easy! everybody loved it. I'm definitely not a talented chef by any means and this recipe is hard to screw up, which is great. Thanks!
