Here is an adaptation of a recipe from Desperation Dinners by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross. A very good idea book, by the way, for quick dinners. Like Rachel Ray, they are big fans of using pre-prepped ingredients like frozen chopped onions. I don’t mind chopping onions and am not even sure my stores carry [...]

Another score on a tasty and fast meal using pantry staples, courtesy of an old issue of Cooking Light.
