Amanda sherer says April 4, 2021 at 7:31 pm I absolutely love this recipe! I love using frozen veggies. So good! I double it and freeze half for later. Last time I used broccoli and cauliflower, recently I used a brocc, caul, and carrot mix. I also use regular chive and onion instead of whipped bc that’s what my store had. Yum! Reply
