Has potential, true, but pretty blah as is. I did add paprika, some garlic chives, and panko topping, but it was still kind of flat. It might be my fault, as I forgot to toast the almonds, and I'm sure it would probably be better if the almonds were toasted first.

Very tasty. I used skim milk because that's all I had. Not special occasion or company-worthy, but is a tasty "light" meal. Next time I make it I'll take another reviewers suggestion and add broccoli. The taste is not the issue, I'd just prefer to have some veggies. I agree with other reviewer's comment that the prep is time consuming.
