  1. This was really tasty. I've been pushing the family to eat more fish and I've been looking for healthier ways to prepare it. We used fat-free cheese and dried spices and also added a teaspoon of chopped garlic and this was GREAT! It also seemed like it was done cooking before I had even finished cleaning up from prepping the meal. My son is really picky about fish and he asked if I could make this again. I think we have a winner!

  3. This is an easy and very tasty recipe! It took me approx. 25 to make from start to plating and it took my wife 10 minutes to finish it! Thanks!!
     
  4. Yummy! This is a nice spring dinner. It's quick and easy, which is just what I was looking for. I used 5 tomatoes, which was too much. Next time I will cut it down to 3. Good stuff!
     
  5. Used cheddar/mozzarella mix. Great!

Having moved to the coast from my roots in Northeast TN, I am enjoying the change of scenery and culinary choices. I was a church cook at one time, and am ADDICTED to FoodNetwork. Ü I am a ballet teacher by trade and education so I've spent most of my life boning-up on the latest nutritional info.
