This is great. The kids [3 and 6] also ate it without too much fuss. Nice healthy meal.Reply

This has a simple list of ingredients for a delicious vegetarian dish. I used fresh from the garden green beans and tomatoes. I do think it needs the full compliment of both white and cayenne pepper. It could be a little more flavorful with the addition of garlic (I put garlic in almost everything) as well as touch of oregano. Timing was perfect.Reply
