This was great. I mixed it up this morning for a brunch at my mom's house. 18 people gobbled up every last bite. We served it with a green chili egg bake, and all the fixings. All the aunts were asking for the recipe. Thanks VNess, I really liked it. Made it just like the recipe said and didn't change a thing. Simple, great fresh taste.

I'm a bit of health nut, I must admit, but have an incurable sweet-tooth. I spend much of my free time outside, running, yoga-ing, biking, reading, and enjoying music. I love to cook and am always looking for something new, healthy, and gluten free to try.
