What’s Cooking by Valerie Paterson
I always like dessert recipes that include vegetables. It’s an easy way to get people, especially children, to eat more vegetables. It’s important to eat plenty of vegetables daily to stay healthy. Vegetables are a good source of minerals and vitamins (such as magnesium, vitamin C and folate), dietary fiber and a range of phytochemicals including carotenoids.

Speaking of a cold night, starts me thinking about a wintertime easy supper that is quick and simple. So, here is a very tasty, quick fix recipe for you to try.
