I go this from my friend Rachel's recipe blog, and she it turn got it from craft foods. It was really good, but would be much better with fresh out of the garden peas. (I'm not a fan of the frozen ones) Or Cris would love broccoli in it but I can't stand the stuff so I never cook it. I also substituted the bacon for chicken. And I cheated I've been so busy getting the kids to their softball and tball practice that I don't have much time to cook a few nights a week. So the chicken I found in the frozen section at Wal-Mart that was already grilled and in a microwave steam bag. It was OK chicken but fresh grilled would be better too.

I'm really excited for this recipe blog and have already tried a few new things, and my family loved them!!
