EaRTh DaY!!

Happy Earth Day!
Celebrate by eating your greens!
This recipe is one of my favorites from my mom. It is a great EASY way to get in a TON of different vegetables that taste divine! My brother in-law once counted that my mom put 11 different veggies in this dish at once. Pretty impressive if you ask me! :)


Italian Vegetable Bake

Steam until almost cooked through:
1 zucchini sliced
1 yellow squash sliced
2 cups broccoli cut to desired size
2 cups cauliflower cut to desired size
2 large carrots cut
other veggie options: bell peppers, mushrooms, whole green beans, asparagus, etc. etc. etc. Go hog-wild. (If you want to skip all the cutting you could even just buy the pre-cut frozen stuff.)

drain veggies, and put into casserole dish
drizzle 1/2-1 cup of fat free Italian dressing (depending on how many vegetables you have) and toss veggies to coat.
sprinkle 1 oz part skim mozzarella cheese over the vegetables
sprinkle 2 tbs of bread crumbs over the top of the cheese
pop into the oven at 400 just to melt the cheese. Enjoy!
