  1. This was very good. I chose this recipe over others because it uses fresh vegetables. The only changes I made were to use 1 stalk of celery instead of 2 and to use 2 cloves of garlic. Will be making it again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm Native American and live on a reserve. I love any thing that has to do with food from recipe collecting to grocery shopping. I'll try just about any food once. Right now I work in a sports store so when I'm not busy I'm always here on the Zaar.I have a lot of cookbooks that I've collected over the years but I don't use them much anymore because I'd rather do recipes here!
