From Reidhead Randomness:

Sloppy Joes....or, as we nick named the recipe from this book, "Veggie Joes" are a wonderful summer kickoff food!  The recipe was, hands down, my family's FAVORITE!  There are SERIOUSLY SO many veggies that go into this, but you don't even notice that it isn't ALL meat!  It has a wonderful flavor and is healthy!

The book is great!  When I first flipped through, I marked a whole bunch of "to make" recipes!  Many are ones I have never seen before!  There was one for using up your leftover veggie tray and making it a soup...what a great idea, right?  Another on my "to make" soon recipe list is the Chicken quesadillas.  Who would have ever thought of making that in the slow cooker!  Another surprising one is Chocolate Chip cookie bars!

We had moo shu pork a couple nights ago.  It took a few bites before everyone in my family got used to the flavors, but then they added their approval of "Mmmmm!"
