Introduction

This was one of those 'throwing stuff from the garden together to use it up' things. Turned out quite yummy if you like cream sauces like I do!! The blackened seasoning is wonderful on pork tenderloin, too! This was one of those 'throwing stuff from the garden together to use it up' things.
