RECIPE BY: SusieQusie

A recipe that I ran across on a WW forum. It combines some of my favorite ingredients to give them a whole new look. For you WWs, this recipe is CORE. If you aren't dieting or just have points to spare, feel free to sprinkle the tops with breadcrumbs and/or cheese before baking.
