vEGGIE RECIPE THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC

[Guest guest]

tHIS ISN'T REALLy about sprouting though you could add some sprouts to it, but

this recipe looked so very good.  Looked like something that one could also add

herbs to.  I like recipes so I found this on an email and went to the website. 

This is not a recipe I have tried, but would love to try.
