**** Four stars for overall taste. It was not bad but not outstanding
***** Five stars for how easy it is.
***1/2 Three and a half stars for my kid friendly. They ate all I put in their bowl.
This was not bad at all...but can't say it was an instant hit with me. This was our first attempt at a totally meatless meal and I think it went over just fine. My SIL and her boys were over for dinner. My kids and her older son ate their portions with absolutley no fuss but they didn't want seconds either. My SIL and DH at seconds and thirds, respectively. I will probably make it again. Not bad for a meatless meal.
