Another one of those times when I had to get my DIL to bring me some silken tofu (not something I usually stock in my kitchen), & since the recipe was quickly & easily completed, that was no problem! We really enjoyed the combo of veggies here! Will be keeping this recipe around! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a recipenap in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 16]
