Poster's Notes:
The other day at work I saw this recipe pasted to the wall near the sink and copied it down to try. I made it for dinner tonight and it is a real keeper. The notes below are from the recipe. I, personally, didn't find it spicy but there is a bit of kick to it. And, as an added bonus, it is low in fat. You'll see why when you note the name of the person who gave the recipe.
