100% would make again

You won't believe how delicious, yet how easy this dish is. We tasted it for the first time when our son's godparents made it for us. Even my grandmother—who's 95 years old—likes to serve this creamy dish for luncheons with friends! —Vicki Schlechter, Davis, California

excellent recipe. Made several times this spring with our fresh asparagus. Now I'm going to buy some just to make it this fall again.

Finally! A meal that I don't have to bribe/threaten my children to eat!! All 3 gobbled it down and asked for seconds. I served it on brown rice to make it a little healthier.

This recipe got rave reviews at my house. The kids wanted to know if we could have it again the next night. Luckily there were leftovers.
