So delicious!!! I added mushrooms, green and red peppers and spicy Italian sausage because I had to use it up. Turned out delicious’!
Very yummy! My hubs loved it (picky eater). I used yellow squash as well, needed to use up. We served over jasmine rice. I can’t wait to try the other recipes!
It says 2 zucchini but can you break it do n to approximate cups? I have a very large zucchini and am not sure how much to use.
Thank you!
Can you please tell me where I find all of the labels to put on the bags? I’m not seeing them attached to each recipe. Thank you!
Has anyone substituted the beef for ground turkey?
You definitely could!
I have finally figured out how to print out the Avery labels. However, some of the recipe labels are landscape instead of portrait. i cannot just copy and paste like the portrait labels. Is there a trick to it? thank you.
