Fantastic meat-free meal! This recipe is very flexible - add more of what items you like; bump of the seasonings if it tastes bland; omit what you don't; make substitutions (broccoli for the green beans, for example) and enjoy! As a vegan, I leave out the yogurt. I told my sister I was making this for her visit this weekend, and she's excited!
