ingredients
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups diced zucchini
1 large carrot, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
3 drops hot pepper sauce
4 cups whole wheat bread cubes
1 cup finely shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese
1 cup finely shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
directions
In a 2 1/2-quart oven-safe, microwave-safe casserole, stir together the onions, celery, oil and garlic. Cover and microwave on high power for a total of 6 minutes; stop and stir after 3 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, carrots, thyme, basil, salt (if using), mustard and hot-pepper sauce.
Cover and microwave for a total of 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender; stop and stir after 3 minutes. Stir in the bread cubes, fat-free cheese and 3/4 cup of the reduced-fat cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup reduced-fat cheese. Bake for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted.

Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
