I really like this one. It's full of veggies and can be served cold.
Ingredients
2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 small eggplant, about 5 oz., thinly sliced
1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
3 fresh garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 C. jarred roasted red bell peppers
1/2 C. jarred roasted yellow bell peppers*
2 Tbs. chopped fresh basil, or 1 1/2 tsp. dried Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
2 Tbs. tomato paste
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 C. grape tomatoes, cut in half and seeded
Directions
Place the oil in a large skilled. Add the eggplant, onion, zucchini and squash over medium-high heat and saute for 7 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic, roasted red and yellow peppers, basil, cayenne pepper (if desired), tomato paste, salt, pepper and tomatoes. Cover and cook for 20 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Transfer to a large container with a lid and allow the ratatouille to cool to room temperature, if desired. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring ratatouille to room temperature before serving. It tastes best when cooked the day before serving.

She did indeed attend Le Cordon Bleu, but only for 2 weeks. She didn't complete the course therefore did not receive any certifications or degrees. That is probably the reason she didn't include this info on her personal website. So, she isn't a chef after all. She believes in "70% store-bought/ready-made products accompanied by 30% fresh and creative touches allow anyone to take 100% of the credit for an incredible result."
Sounds like she should work for Kraft, quick & easy recipes.

Sorry but Sandra Lee did not go to "chef school" in Paris, she went to the University of Wisconsin, she is not a professional chef. She just isn't. Go to her homepage on
http://www.semihomemade.com it tells you right there that she never went to culinary school.

It is sooo easy and quick. I dont use the spag. sauce with the chucky vegies because they take up too much room in the egg roll shell because you cant fit a lot into one. I am actually going to make them for dinner tomorrow night. I love them.

Here ya go midnightmetal, this is a greek salad from Kraft. Don't know what I was thinking, this is the one I have made over and over and over again.
http://www.kraftfoods.com/main.aspx?s=recipe&m=recipe/knet_recipe_display&u1=keyword&u2=greek%20salad&u3=**5*20&wf=9&recipe_id=92091
I knew it was in one of my magazines just picked the wrong one I guess. If you can't get to this recipe by clicking on the link, just type "easy greek salad" in the recipe finder on this website. The full name is Easy Tomato & Cucumber Greek Salad. IT IS WONDERFUL!
I still plan on trying the other 2 though. I'll let you know what I think. Gotta wait for fresh veggies first!

> Yes, but Sandra Lee said the seeds were spicy.
I've even eaten the seeds, they are not spicy. They don't really have a flavor.
