This was an unexpectedly successful recipe – not perfect, but one that probably only needs a little tweaking to make it work. It’s derived from a recipe from Taste of Home, a magazine that isn’t exactly focused on healthy cooking, but is focused on tasty home cooking – and many recipes can be modified to be vegetarian or healthier.
