This is SUCH a great way to handle leftover (and/or maybe boring!) veggies. That said, my family did not exactly share my "wonderful" opinion on this recipe! :rofl: They can be such sticks-in-the-mud sometimes---all they want is buttered & salted vegies OR cheesed up ones! Hmmm. I need to work on that. Okay, so I pretty much made this exactly as you've directed, except I added about 1 T. of finely chopped onion. Yummmmy, yum, yum!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
