I found this recipe a while back on The Spicy Skillet and thought they looked so intriguing. This is a great healthy recipe for something that is usually indulgent. These were so tasty. I served them with rice for dinner, but they would make great appetizers as well. The Spicy Skillet made some changes to the recipe and I followed her instructions, but you can find the original recipe at Cooking Light. Many thanks to my wonderful husband, Adam, for taking these pictures.
