Made this for supper the other night, it has been very hot here the last few days and this was wanderful, didn't have to heat up the whole house. Quick and easy stovetop! I can see that we will make this often, it is so versatile,could use almost any kind of fresh veggies!! Had no snow peas, so left them out, the new peas were great! Used the rest of the veggies as called for, but changed the sauce a bit. I used 2% milk instead of the cream, it turned out just fine. This was a great combination of veggies and sauce, the taste was "More Please". I served it over a toasted sourdough roll. I cut the recipe in half for the two of us and took the left overs to work for lunch the next day, reheated very nicely in the microwave. Thanks for a keeper SherryF!!
