Good and easy and great for easy summer suppers--and surprisingly this is also very filling! The only change I made was using a green bell pepper instead of the yellow. I also used the snow peas and green onions choices. I think this is very adaptable to whatever vegetables are available either fresh or in the refrig. Thanks Jude for sharing!
