Well, I'm glad it was healthy, and it wasn't too hard to make, but if you don't like mustard it may not be a dish for you. I also could not find reduced calorie marmalade, at either the regular grocery store or the SuperWalmart locally. It was filling and looked pretty.

I made this Monday night and we couldn't believe how good it was! My dh was worried when I told him that from now on all our meals are going to be low fat and healthy! He's decided he can live with this!

Made this with spelt rather than rice and honey as I'm not overly fond of marmalade. I reduced the mustard per another reviewer's comments. This was gobbled. No leftovers.

I made this recipe but didn't have Dijon mustard on hand so I used the Honey Mustard from Honey Baked Ham company and it worked beautifully! It was great and my husband had NO idea it was from my new Weight Watchers cookbook!

I substituted brown rice for wild rice. The store didn't have wild rice the day I did shopping. I rated this OK because I felt like the mustard was a little overwhelming. If I made it again I would use a little less mustard.
