That looks delish! I love that its healthy :)
Very belatedly, thanks Shannon! I just made this dish with a bunch of substitutions last night and it turned out pretty yummy! I had a bunch of veggies I wanted to use (green onions, cabbage, kohlrabi leaves, dandelion, Swiss chard, a little spinach), and not a lot of what it's usually called for (onions, peppers, spinach). Plus, I didn't have bread, so I used Shredded Wheat (the kind with bran too!) -- this worked pretty awesomely! -- no need to cut/rip any bread, PLUS it's so much healthier!, and I cooked the veggies with basil instead of thyme, and that was good too! Well, I'm off to your blog to see what you're up to! Have a great day!
