    Incredible!
    Oh this is good. It got rave reviews in my family! I added some crushed red pepper to give it some zing. Next time, I'll use chunky peanut butter for little bursts of peanut taste! - 6/17/11

    Very Good
    Great Dish! I used chopped brocolli instead of brocolli spears, next time im going to try some fresh sugar snap peas or green beans.. Also could use a little more peanut butter - 8/17/10
