Notes

This recipe is easy to play around with and find new combinations. Sometimes I like to add frozen sweet peppers, frozen or dried hot pepper, beauty heart radish, or beets! If you are adding uncooked vegetables, add them with the carrots earlier. (winandoffice.com) If you are adding pre-cooked or frozen vegetables, add them later with the other frozen vegetables.
