    My mom has been making this dish for about a year, and it is always a hit. She made one minor change and uses a mixture of wild rices for added texture and wholesome goodness. - 10/14/10

    This is so delicious! I used zucchini. I only had Italian bread crumbs on hand, which added a wonderful flavor. I also didn't have sour cream. Instead I used 1 cup sour milk (1T. lemon juice into a cup, fill the cup with soy or regular milk). I'll definitely make this again and share with others. - 7/25/10
