I love all the ingredients in this, so I was really expecting to love this. But I found the rosemary and basil too strong in the recipe. I used fresh herbs, so I didn't overpower it with dried herbs. I think it could have used more olives, and less basil and rosemary. I also think it would benefit from a sprinkle of feta just before taking it out of the oven. I really hate leaving anything other than a 4 or 5 star rating, but I couldn't leave that rating in good conscious for others. Sorry, this just didn't please my palate.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
