Today’s recipe is very simple and a snap to make. In addition, it is a healthy by version of a comfort food. Plus, it is in honor of a place that will make many of my @sunygeneseo brethren smile – Mr T’s. It was a place on Main street that was known for it’s pizza and the mozzarella sticks were dynamite! It was one of several neat little places on that street that we frequented (perhaps once or twice after a late night visit to GJ’s, the Vital or In Between). Other places included the bronze bear, the donut Shoppe and mama mia’s. I am opting for mozzarella sticks with today’s recipe. They are baked, but very good. So a comfort food, that is healthy, if you will.
