Made this for dinner tonight.... super easy, fresh ingredients, and so good! Takes about 30 minutes to make and has only 256 calories per serving! You could even indulge a bit and have a slice of fresh french bread with it. (FYI french bread that you buy in the bakery section of your grocery store contains 150 calories per slice! And that's with nothing on it... )
