  1. Very good. I used more broth and added crushed red pepper seeds for some extra spice. Also added green peppers
     
  2. I made this last night for dinner and it had such good flavor. The only thing I will say is I used more broth than recipe stated-as I was waiting for the zucchini to get tender I felt it was too dry so I just added what I felt probably another 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Very good though thanks for giving me something to add to my rotation!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mom to 2 boys, ages 11 and 6. My youngest is a cancer survivor, so we enjoy each day given to us! You never know what can happen in your life! I have been in the loan business for over 10 years and I love it. Unfortunately, this economy has put a wrench into my awesome career. After a couple layoffs, I decided I need to do something else for awhile. I am now selling advertising, and it's different! I am thankful to have a job, so can't complain much! I love to cook. I can spend a whole Sunday in the kitchen just cooking away. I love trying new recipes (my boyfriend hates it. Lol. He likes what he likes and would be fine never trying anything new.) I never bake. I think it's because I don't measure. I am a throw-in-the-ingredients until they taste good kind of girl. I LOVE this site(actually, I am addicted to it) and am enjoying finding new things to make everyday!
