Delicious - a truly heaven-sent recipe during our recent three day heat-wave (temperature over 110 degrees fahrenheit), when you feel hungry but not particularly like eating most things! Except for using a diced red pepper instead of sun-dried tomatoes - which I don't greatly care for - I made this exactly to the recipe. A delicious blend of flavours and so pleasingly low in fat and calories. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Jess; and for being okay about my using red pepper instead of sun-dried tomatoes. I'll certainly be making this again for healthy, yummy take-to-work lunches. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders. -
The combination of flavors is out of this world. This one has been moved into my salad cookbook and I'm sure it will be on our table again soon. This recipe was from the 08 dec vegetarian recipe swap. thanks,jess -
Made this tonight, it makes a great side dish, especially for diabetic/low carb menus. My husband loved it and requested that I make it again soon! I didn't have thyme, so I omitted that, but added salt and pepper. It was great! -
Jess4Freedom, This sounds like a great recipe and I would love to make it. I adore Boursin cheese! However, in the text you referenced tomato juice, V-8 juice and chicen stock, but the ingredient list is missing these things and their amounts. Thanks!

Did you know that you can type in the degree symbol ° by holding down the Alt key and typing 248? Go ahead try it, I'll wait. Cool eh?
Just a note to anyone making my recipes. If you have taken pictures of them, please feel free to post them right away. I love seeing what others come up with and want them all posted.
Also, I am VERY slow to return Zmails. I'm sorry, but that's just how I roll. I will of course answer you if you have questions, but it might take a day.
Thanks! :)

I am also very glad to say that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I see His blessings in my everyday life. I am married to the love of my life and we've been together about 10 years. I always follow the rule of Faith first, Family second, Career third. Since I've had those priorities in order, everything has fallen right into line.

I have 4 children at home - 12, 10, 8, 6. My oldest son is 12 and has severe autism, and he lives with his father. I also have a baby boy - Furrynando. I think he gets the most attention.

I have fibromyalgia and I also have quite a few back problems. I was supposed to have a spinal fusion surgery Sept 08, but the insurance declined at the last moment. I cannot think of many people out there having elective back surgery, but you never know. I haven't been pain free in over 10 years. But... I do get to park really close to the doors at Walmart :)
UPDATE:
I had my surgery! Oh thank God I can walk and sit and do so many things again. I finally have life to live!

My star system....
5* = Awesome! Totally rocked our socks!
4* = Very good, but needs 'something'.
3* = We ate it, tried it anyways.
2* = Yuck. We ordered pizza instead.
1* = Terrible food. Terrible instructions. Cat tried to bury it.
I try not give anything below 3 stars. I might just leave a comment instead. If it really aggravated me, then I will definitely leave a lower star rating. I will always explain in my review how it went over.
