Here’s what Grocery by PPP members are saying:

This was really good! Fairly easy to make and my husband loved it! – Dana K. 

I used what I had on hand. Yellow squash instead of zucchini. Ground pork instead of ground chicken. I added basil, parsely, and minced garlic to amp up the italian flavor. 4/4 liked this recipe – Kari C. 

Everyone loved this! My daughter said it was restaurant quality and that’s a lot coming from a 15 year old. – Brenda R.
