    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.
