This sounds yummy, Chatty, I'm going to tell my cook how to make it!

Oooh, so many favorite flavors in that dish, Chatty! YUM!!!

Can't wait to try it. Though it will be a few days as I just came from the grocery store and didn't know to buy fresh spinach, garbanzo beans, and asiago cheese.

By the way, I bought a nice wedge of Asiago in November, to take to my daughter's house as part of my contribution for a potluck in honor of my brother's visiting from Texas. I was bringing hors d'oeuvres - cheese and crackers...

My daughter NEGLECTED (on purpose I am sure) to put out the Asiago, said we had enough choices without. Then when it was time to go home, she asked to keep it! I had bought it because I knew it had been a childhood fave of hers.

Clearly she decided to keep it to herself... LOL

That's funny Anne, you have quite the smart daughter it seems. This is a good recipe Yonuh, and all, on a cold nasty day. I know it has been cold, dreary, and nasty here in Vegas for weeks. These kind of warming recipes make one feel so much better especially served with a warm loaf of Italian garlic
bread....

Hm, we're up into high 60s; low to mid 70s for the weekend. Want me to send you some sunshine?

Thanks for sending the sunshine I found here today Yonuh when I woke up. WOW, seek and a boomer sister will make it happen. It is suppose to go up into the mid 60's as well today and all week. It has been unseasonably cold here and damp and dreary, so I am glad to see the sun...

That's funny, Chatty. Wish I could take the credit for the weather, but I'm not that powerful - yet! LOL
