Longing for December?

Sometimes, even in the dead heat of summer, you crave something that is more suitable for winter.  Most comfort foods are cold weather foods, it seems...and you need to be comforted year round, right?

This meal is one of the simplest and although it requires turning the oven on, you'll barely be in the kitchen long enough to break a sweat.  It's perfect for the days when you just don't feel like grilling, or when you long for something that reminds you of two feet of snow (in a moment of temporary insanity).

Although, there is one part of this that screams summertime...the fresh parsley from my garden :)  It definitely gives it a lighter, fresher taste.

And next to taste, the best part of this meal is the cost.  Seriously, it doesn't get much cheaper than this.

Enjoy!
