I made this recipe up a few days ago when I needed to take dinner to someone. (I know, I know, great time to make something up...but I didn't have may ingredients on hand, I refused to go shopping, and I needed to use my squash and zucchini from my garden.) Cheryl helped me a bit with the recipe (thanks Cheryl!!) And it ended up tasting so good that I thought I'd post it here. I was thinking that the next time I made it, I might add celery and/or barley. If you make it, let me know what you think-even if you don't like it. Thanks!
That sounds delicious! And I really hardly helped except to tell you that I thought your ideas all sounded great. But thanks! We will definitely be trying this as it turns colder.
