Baked Zucchini and Vegetables with Brown Rice

Posted on February 2, 2018 by dgourmac

One of the most appealing dishes I have is an oval ceramic plate with handles, made in Portugal and bought on sale at Williams-Sonoma several years ago.   The dish was the inspiration for tonight’s dinner. The recipe was my own … Continue reading →
