Notes

Our family loves this recipe. It is great in the summer when you have your own garden of fresh vegetables, or fresh from your local farmers market. I have made this in the winter from store-bought ingredients and it is still delicious.

Make this recipe your own. You do not have to follow it exactly. If your family is afraid of green peppers, leave them out.  If you only have one stalk of celery that will work too. You can mix and match any fresh vegetables that do not have to be cooked.  For my next variation, I am going to parboil some corn on the cob, remove it from the cop and add that in.

Let me know how your family likes this recipe and how you change it up.
