aaaaaaaand it's recipe time (again).

i made these last night and they came out so good that i brought one into work for lunch and everyone is like "omg is that lean cuisine!?" which i'm not sure is a compliment but in any case everyone agrees it smells and looks GOOD. and i can attest to the fact that they taste good. and they are good for you (mostly)
