Introduction

Due to a lack of time before my husband had to leave for work (he works evenings), I wanted to come up with a dish that would take as little time as possible to prepare but something that would be tasty & different than what we normally eat. It also had to stay within the calories that I'm alloted. The only thing different I'll do the next time I make this is use Smart Balance spread instead of butter.
