I served this stir-fry with almond and pecan burgers for a meatless meal. Delicious! Thank you, Betty, for sharing this recipe.

wonderful if not cooked too much or too little...add the carrots first, then broccoli, peppers and then last the squash. I added yellow squash and sweet red peppers plus I added a little Italian seasoning cause Salt and Pepper were not enough. I also used EVO. yummy.
