Description

A friend of mine sent this recipe to me when I got my first apartment, because she knows how much I hate cooking! It’s really easy — even I can make it — and tastes great. I’m not sure where she found the recipe, but it included the note ‘Good source of protein, vitamin A, B group vitamins, calcium.’
