From: Marian mailto:collins75@cox.net
This is Marian in So. California again - mom to 5 growing kids ages 6
-18 and wife to Dan - 25 years this year. I tend to provide high
calorie meals for my kids as they are pretty active but this is a
delightful summer meal - even the kids like it. It's visually
appealing as well. It comes from Cooking Light a couple of years ago.
I hope you enjoy it.
Serves 4.
