I love it; such a great theme! It's interesting that this and some other primavera recipes I've spied include milk and butter to create a creamy sauce, as the recipe I was taught is oil about oil and soft-fried veggie cubes. Maybe the cream approach is the Italian-American difference? (I'm not American so just guessing!). Anyhoo, wonderful stuff. Primavera simply rocks!

I'm very fortunate to live in an area with great sale prices on food. Just last week chicken breasts were on sale $1.89/lb and a few weeks before that broccoli was $.77/4 heads! Those are just a few examples. I post my shopping trip each week with a copy of my grocery store's ad. The goal is to buy what's on sale and use as many coupons as I can for the items that are on sale, so I can get the best price for the products! Erin @Bev,
