My kitchen is undergoing renovations and I'm extremely limited in what I have to cook with, so I made this, hoping to get a decently healthy meal in that was tolerable. I added some cayenne pepper and a touch of Old Bay Blackening seasoning and some bay leaves. Excellent! I'm so excited to have something excellent for lunch tomorrow, too!
