I'm constantly finding things I want to try and cook to see if we like. This one had no meat, and for the most part it wouldn't bother me but I have 3 guys in my house who would have had a fit without meat of some sort so I added grilled chicken strips and mmmm mmmm mmm was it good!

Oh man that looks good - thanks for sharing!
YUM! This does sound good! I'd have to skip the leeks, and pick all the peas out of Kaylee's bowl, but other than that, we'd be good to go. Knowing me, I'd probably add extra cheese too, cause I'm a cheese-aholic!
