    We made this last week. It was really good! I used chopped fresh spinach and that worked well.

    Sorry this recipe isn't up either :( neither was your zucchini pancake recipe. I have 2 girls and am expecting my 3rd one come July. So you can imagine how full my hands will be. That's why I was ecstatic to see your "30 minute dinner" section. Unfortunately many of the recipes aren't coming up :( and alllllll your recipes are making me drool because they sound and look so good!

      I am so sorry Nitasha. Thank you so much for bringing them to my attention. Some of my older recipes were loaded differently and are out of date now. I am having to go back one by one by one and fix them. This one is fixed now and please let me know if you run into any others and I will get them fixed right away for you :)
