I've had this recipe clipped from CL magazine as well, and finally tried it last night. It's not as good as I'd hoped it was going to be, but it IS good. I'm sure it would be much better using oil and butter in place of the cooking spray. A bit time consuming to make. The breadcrumb cheese mixture on top is one of the best parts. I will be keeping the recipe in my files, but will probably use butter and oil to make it better.

I am a stay at home (or in the car:)) mom to two cute kids-ages 7 & 4-and one husband! He's pretty cute too....We live in Fullerton,California, which is also where I grew up. I love, love, love to cook, drink wine with friends, shop, travel, read magazines and collect cookbooks. I have zillions of them and love to sit on the couch with a good cookbook! I belong to a guild of Children's Hospital of Orange County(CHOC) and we recently just finished our own cookbook to raise funds for the hospital. I also enjoy shopping and selling on ebay-so many fun things to find out there! Thanks Liza at recipezaar (my college roomate) for leading me here.
