"Classy enough for company or comfort food for family, this recipe is fast, easy and really good! As I always have blocks of cream cheese frozen, the rest of the ingredients can be found in the cupboard. All you need is fresh vegetables. The veggies are inter-changeable.... just change the cooking time accordingly! The leftovers are perfect for the next day!!"
