For someone who doesn't really enjoy cooking, I'm finding myself more and more in the kitchen. Yes, I know, a complete cliche, but I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago and it is simply divine, without too much hassle - thought you may want to give it a try. Oh, and yes it is healthy - very healthy!!!
