***Review:

I got this recipe off a blog I read... everyone seemed to love it.

I didn't love it. My kids didn't love it. (ok.. the baby loved it, but he'll eat anything) It wasn't bad but I wouldn't make it for company. I would rate it a 4 out of 10. I usually like sweet and savory, but this just didn't seem to have enough flavor. I used unsweetend applesauce so maybe that was a problem? It was better when I added salt. I think if I made it again, I would add salt to the crockpot for sure...Also, I would maybe serve it over a flavored rice or noodles instead of just white rice.

I did like how easy it was... and again, it wasn't bad.. just not great. The best part? It's low in calories... so that's a bonus!  UPDATE: Hubby took it to work the next day and raved over it....hmmm!

If you make this I would love to hear what you think. The reviews I read raved about it.... so I am curious as to what you think.
