This is a healthy, not too sugary recipe. I used applesauce instead of oil, added garlic powder, and changed the recipe to use three tablespoons of butter rather than one t. I got rave reviews for it! Definitely a good starting point recipe.

I voted while eating something spicy so I couldn't have expected god forbid salad. But, this is good for serving as a special occasion dinner. Not bomb burritable but tasty yum.
