Recipe Notes

*To make your own breadcrumbs, just allow 2 – slices of whole grain bread to sit at room temperature without covering at all for 1 – 2 days and cut into chunks. Alternately, place 2 – 3 slices of this bread into an oven at 300 degrees and allow to toast for 5 minutes. Remove and break into chunks

**Also note that you can use any vegetables you’d like – some other great options include: peppers, green or yellow beans, cauliflower, broccoli, or corn!
