    I cooked this and my life has never been the same! My friends, many of whom hate veggies, love this. My vegetarian friends are forever grateful. Definitely a must-try! ♥ - 10/10/09

    I will try this and add white beans for protein. Love the idea of chicken, shrimp and/or crabmeat. - 3/19/09

    Delicious!! I went a little heavy on the chili powder and added a bit of cayenne too so it had quite a kick but I absolutely loved it! And so did my seven year old who thinks he hates squash, onions and tomatoes!! - 8/10/11

    Really good and not much calories at all :D I put bell peppers and carrots in, too and it tasted wonderful! - 3/3/09
  • KATKAT45
    I made this last night and i will never make it again. It was lousy. The green beans ruined it! I tasted as i was making it and i felt it needed more pizzaz...like more garlice, more spices, was pretty bland and the beans gave it a real pasty bland taste. Needs serious doctoring and spicing. - 6/13/13
