    Tonia, I just throw things together too Sometimes it is difficult when someone asks for a recipe. I think after cooking a while you learn what goes good with what and can pretty much eyeball it LOL

    Don't put the tomato sauce in the poor mans meal. Yucky. It is very good without it. I did try it both ways.
