Low-Fat Linguine Vegetable Toss and Intro

[Guest guest]

Hi, my name is Kayla and I'm new to this list. I'm a 41 year old, happily

married, mother of 2 {son-18, daughter-16}, and I love to cook and collect

recipes. I guess you could say that I'm a " part-time " vegetarian, because

although I do eat meat, I also eat plenty of vegetarian dishes also. I have

many vegetarian dishes that I am looking forward to sharing, and I am very

much looking forward to adding some new vegetarian recipes to my collection!

{I received my new MasterCook 5.0 version last week, and I am loving it!}

Here's a recipe that I have made many times, and I really love it! Look

forward to sharing with each of you! Kayla
