I really resent getting recipes like this in the "healthy" recipe section. What drugs were the editors on when they decided to call this healthy?

Made this tonight for the first time. I used a fresh tomato from my garden (seeded it, too) instead of sun dried. It was GREAT! Will make this one again for sure!Jan

I made it Monday night! YUMMY!!! It's a MUST try! I'm on Weight Watchers so I was shocked to read the above post. Oh well, I'll just be extra good this week, it was worth it! :)
