    I made this yesterday and it was wonderful. I tweaked it a little by omitting the cherry tomatoes but adding canned diced fire roasted tomatoes, and diced the tops of the peppers and added those as well. I added a couple teaspoons of Penzy's Foxpoint seasoning.It's a great recipe, thanks! - 8/25/10
