This is a wonderful recipe to have the family make together. It's simple and much of the work is in the prepping of the vegetables - which kids love to help with! We make this recipe often in our Summer Camps and it always impresses us how much kids love it. If ever there were a recipe that proved the age old saying that "kids are more likely to try foods they helped make" it's this one! Plus it's loaded with health veggies and it tastes delicious...bonus it's educational.
