    I'll have to leave out the Basalmic--my kids and husband didn't care for the strong flavor.

    You can always substitute a little lemon juice for vinegar in almost any recipe.

    The balsamic vinegar kind of ruined it for me, taste better before I put it in.

    I didn't care for the balsamic vinegar either. I will have to try lemon. That sounds great.
