My family went out for pizza tonight, but I stayed home with sleeping baby. She had her 2 month check-up with immunization shots, so was getting some much needed rest. I plan on walking over to the Lebanese Flower Restaurant tonight for a couple shwarmas, but in the meantime I needed something delicious and vegetabley. I tried out this recipe from Betty Crocker. It was so yummy! I squeezed a little lime juice over all at the end and gave it a satisfying zest to the whole deal. If you try this, don't leave it out!
