A favorite

I cook a lot, but I've never claimed to be a "good" cook. My cooking is more out of necessity than desire.  I want to try to control what we eat, while Jackson's interested in the financial aspect of eating in. (We both take leftovers to work every day.)  Anyway, this is one recipe that makes me feel like Martha. It's not intimidating with all those fancy ingredients, it's easy, delicious & I categorize it as Gourmet, for my kitchen!  Thought I'd share it for those that may be looking for an addition to their collection...
