I am once again at the last minute searching the internet for a recipe to cook for tonights early dinner.  We eat early on Monday since the girls have classes starting at 4.  Meatless Monday was instituted as a means of saving some money.

I am going to change this recipe...to make it veggie friendly it is meatless monday after all :)

I am switching the chicken broth to veggie broth (using half the stated amount as left in a comment to original recipe)  I will be making some ravioli that is STUFFED with veggies and not cheese (I love cheese, but not really great for my waist line)  Also...since I don't have any green peppers I am just going to use a whole yellow and red one.  I guess we shall see how this goes.


This was delicious :-)  I also added some sliced mushrooms...it just looked like it really needed them.
