    What could you use in place of the lemon and garlic pepper? This sounds delicious, but I don't want to make an extra run to the store. - 7/6/12

    Incredible!
    Made this last night and loved it. Your ingredients state Pam but your directions mention butter. I used 3 TBL unsalted butter which probably increased the calories! Also, didn't have ground almond and substituted with same amount of ground pecans. - 3/31/11
