This is one of the vegetarian recipes that my husband and I enjoy. I admit that my kids turned down the opportunity to eat it with us and chose frozen burritos instead. Silly kids. The recipe is adapted from New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant.
Here’s what you’ll need:

Yum – been trying to eat more meatless meals. I used to have a copy of a Moosewood cookbook but loaned it to someone. This reminds me how many great ideas were in there!
This looks so colorful and delicious! I definitely want to try it! I love that Cookbook. I checked it out from the library not long ago. Great recipes in there!
My goodness.. this looks fantastic. I love the whole idea of this dish! So colorful and healthy too!
I love everything in and about this recipe!
I made this tonight and only changed a couple of (very) minor things – my kids loved it and so did I! We’ll see how the husband feels about it re-warmed when he gets home from work tonight 🙂 Thanks for a meat free dinner, we don’t have enough of them at our house!
OH! I also made Mexican corn bread for this instead of plain and it was SO good!
Shanna, I’m glad you liked it. I’d love to know what you changed – I might have to try it with your ideas. The Mexican corn bread sounds yummy!~~Tiffany
