We always like this as a quick, no meat meal. We don't eat it as a side dish. Thanks for taking the time to key this in-I was all prepared to do it and BAM! There it was! - 6/24/10

Sounds like a great low fat, low cholesterol food. Also high in fiber. Will have to try very soon. Thanks for sharing. - 2/22/09
