I had asked for my blog readers to send me a recipe that was healthy & tasted good. This recipe was sent to me from my dear friend, Melanie. She writes...It turned out pretty good!!! I would recommend increasing the jalapeno peppers for a little more spice... I will be making this soon, but because of my pepper allergies, I will have to leave them out of my batch! I hope you enjoy this & Thank You Melanie for sharing your recipe with everyone!
