It's easy to get tired of the same old recipes day after day.  It's time to explore with meals that are a little out of the ordinary.  American food is great, but the tendency is there to take advantage of the "fast food" craze, which can contribute to obesity and health problems due to high fat, cholesterol, sodium etc.  It's time to get out of the comfort zone and experiment with other foods and recipes.  This recipe is quick, easy, and tastes great.
