However, I make it three servings because it just isn't enough. I suppose if I had a big salad with it or something, but I don't.

It took a bit to get used to the green beans in it, but I don't mind them now.

Mmmm, I think it looks yummeh! Plus I think I'd like the green beans in there. I'd have to use real cheese though; I just. Can't. Do. Low fat cheese.

Thanks, Dorothy! I think this is supper!

I think it is my lunch. I'm working from home today so will have time to cook.
