Italian Mixed Vegetables

Submitted by ColCadsMom

"This was in the Oct/Nov 2003 edition of Light and Tasty magazine. It is a quick and easy way to prepare frozen mixed vegetables with much less calories than using olive oil. Fresh vegetables may also be used. I have also used fat free Italian salad dressing with no problem to reduce fat and calories even more."

I gave these recipe 3 stars. I made this recipe for Cameraless Chef 2008. My future hubby and I really liked these veggies. My 6 yrs old niece did not but she's not a big veggie girl. I made a few minor changes to the recipe as I could find 16oz veggies and I used zesty italian dressing. I followed the rest of the recipe to a T. Overall we will have these veggies again. Thanks so much for posting a good recipe christine (internetnut)
