This is our middle daughter's favorite food...I seriously think she would eat it for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner EVERY day of her life if others didn't step in and insist on some variety in her diet ;)
It really IS delicious, though! Our family doesn't just eat it as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvres, but as a meal with fresh bread/rolls and a big salad :) A definite 5-Stars in this household!
