Oh, I just remembered I forgot the corn!! I was going to use the canned mini type. This still was a colorful and tasty dish. Super easy directions to follow. I put a serving in a piece of Flatout Flat Bread and ate mine that way. I'll make this again. Made for *Healthy Choices ABC Tag 2009* game

Loved the vegy combination. Did the recipe pretty much as written. However, I didn't have cob corn so I used canned. I wasn't sure if garlic granules was powder or salt so I did 1/2 of each. Cut the butter abit & it came out perfect for us. Thanks for sharing such a tasty recipe.

Very good and easy recipe. Awesome directions Molly! I used butternut squash as its one of our favorites. I didnt have any fresh corn so I used mini cobs of corn. Also I used 2 garlic cloves added them with the onions. The worcestershire sauce and soy sauce didn't overpower this recipe, just gave it a nice mild flavor I also added a pinch of chili pepper flakes just to give it a bit of a kick. Thanks for sharing this recipe one I will be making again. Made for help a camera-less chef game #5.
