@contentandwell- You both sound more like Yankees than me. My husband loves hearty veggies, and he's a true Yankee. Sweet potatoes I would think be redundant with squash. I love the "summer" lightness of this recipes. Could you use shallots instead of garlic? There are also summer squashes too. I also added basil, lemon balm , 2 types of parsley.
@jakedduck1- Well you surprised me with your comments about colors! My my Jake. I almost put cabbage in it too but I thought to keep it simpler. I added chick peas and fresh out of the garden pea pods.
I took pictures but don't know how to post them from google photos.
