    It is really high in fat. I would cut the cheese down to half the amount and maybe add another veggie. Going to make it this weekend! - 1/5/13

    My family liked this recipe. I used whole kernel storage wheat. I don't know if that is different from "wheat berries."
    It's tasty and would be wonderful with frest veggies from the garden. Next time I will try using pearl barley. - 2/6/11
