Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a while since I have been able to get a recipe post together for you. We’ve had a busy Fall and Christmas season at the restaurant and are just now able to come up for a bit of air.

I don’t know what’s going on at your house today but over here we are anxiously awaiting the Packers and Falcons to play. I am cheering on the Packers and the Mr. is a Falcons fan, a house divided. I wanted to fix a dish for game day that was a bit healthier than the usual pizza and wings fare that accompanies football. Most of us are trying to watch our waistlines after all that holiday indulging. This recipe has all the elements of good comfort food and is meatless to boot. You can’t go wrong. If you’re feeding a crowd you could pair it with some chips and salsa or guacamole, it’s sure to be a hit!
