I love the versatility of this recipe, and the fact that it is easily adapted to your own preference of veggies.<br/>I used the suggested veggies, as I had them in the fridge, but altered the ratios of them. I grated my carrot, so that it cooked properly, and chopped the other veggies very small.<br/>I went with the balsamic vinegar too, added extra tomato paste to thicken it slightly and a little sugar to take the sting out of it.<br/>Luckily, I don't have a problem with my children eating eating their vegetables, and they really enjoyed this, as did the grown ups of the household.<br/>Thumbs up from us!!<br/>Made for PRMR.

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!!
To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck.
Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!!
