  1. How dare you call something this delicious absurd!!!! I made this for dinner last night, just added a little mozzerella cheese to the Parmesan and a dusting of paprika. I'm going to make this again and again, but next time I'll double the recipe! Thanks for a new family favorite!
     
  2. Marvelous veggies!! I cut the recipe in half with no problem, and added 2 T more parmesan, love that stuff! Added a few sprinkles of red pepper flakes and 1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese to the top. Baked for 40 minutes. Wonderful!!
     
  3. Elizabeth, this was definately not absurd, it was wonderful!! Cut it back for the two of us and it turned out great, very very tastey and went really well with Bergy's mustard chicken. didn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing, one we will do again and again.
     
  4. This was very light and great tasting. I served it with canarygirls's Basil Cilantro and Macadamia Nut chicken (Yummy too!) and it was the perfect side dish. The colors are great too. I think this is a great side dish for a heavy type meat entree. Thanks for posting Izzy!
     
  5. I made this recipe for my boyfriend's parents, along with oven-baked fried chicken and cornbread. I think I used *way* too much olive oil, the bottom of the dish was swimming, but the vegetables were tender and good, especially the roma tomatoes. Mozzarella mixed with the parmesan made it gooey and great.
