Notes: Our family caught a wicked cold/flu bug this week and spent all day in bed today. With my limited energy, I wasn't interested in making a fancy dinner, I just wanted something soothing and nutritious. I tossed this with low expectations (for flavor, but high expectations for nutrition), but the final product was so delicious that I had to record and share it immediately. Mom's whole wheat stir-and-roll baking powder biscuits were the perfect side dish.
