Somebody was looking for easy stuff for a 13 year old to make and eat. Here is

one I found re-printed in Home Cooking, by Amy Coleman (PSB television show).

It's actually by the American Heart Association's " Kid's Cookbook. " I haven't

tried it, but I love SPICY and this looks good for adults even to my eyes! )
