Introduction

I was having "one of those days" and needed a quick dinner. I threw this together, and liked it so much, had to write down the recipe to make again. Even DH, who was not sure about it, loved it. Lots of veggies and easy to substitute what you have on hand. Great with a side salad and some bread. Enjoy! I was having "one of those days" and needed a quick dinner.
