This recipe is from the Gas Light Inn in Atlanta, GA. It is absolutely wonderful. According to the original recipe you can substitute dried herbs (2 teaspoons dried dillweed, and 1 teaspoon dried basil). I have tried this variation several times and it does not affect the flavor. I have also used frozen greenbeans (GASP!). I just put them in with the carrots and the potatoes for the full steam cooking time of 10 minutes. In order to speed up preparation, I do not wait for the vegetables to cool, they go straight from the steamer to the packet, then right to the oven. My husband does not like fish, so I make his packet with chicken and it is also wonderful.<br/>I am including a link to the recipe that has some slight prep variations: http://virtualcities.com/ons/ga/a/gaa55011.htm
