This was great. I felt that I was eating very healthy and my whole family enjoyed it. I would definitely make it again.

Oh , I also used olive oil , 2 tablespoons, instead of the vegetable oil.

This was good...but I made alot of changes. I didn't use green bell pepper, I used zucchini and yellow squash along with the broccoli, red bell and carrots. This recipe really needs some fresh garlic tossed in and I also added some sliced green onions. I used Italian seasoning instead of thyme and added Emeril's Essence and black pepper. It was alot of work and not a fast recipe, but my husband liked it-not sure if I'll make it again, not bad though.
