I totally steal Taste of Homes stuff... :laugh:
I believe this was out of their Health Cooking magazine, the newest issue.

I try to find as many healthy-er recipes to post on here.
Mainly from these sources;
Allrecipes.com
Kraftfoods.com
Tasteofhome.com

Yeah I think it was the newest one or maybe they have a new one out now. I usually purchase the healthy cooking and/or cooking for two.
