    This was very good! I used to make something just like this. The only difference was, I use to use basil instead of parsley. I think it adds more flavor. Thanks for the recipe reminder & nutritional info! - 3/24/09

    Thanks! We love it. I'll try it with the basil next time. I don't know how my DH will like it as this is a tried and true recipe for our family but I love basil!!
