The adults in my family loved this! (The kids are funny about veggies. Anything other then plain has them a little upset!) I loved how there was so very little fat. I used low fat cheddar (just a sprinkling really) and it was great as a side dish with chicken and apples. Have a great adventure, Sackville!
