Easy Healthy & Tasty This has become one of my very favorite recipes. I used vegetable orzo (because I had that already). It uses ingredients you probably already have in your house. I like it warm or room temperature - it seems to have a fuller taste then. Pros: quick and easy to make can take left overs for lunch Read More
