I'm always looking for recipes that will work for meat eating family as well as my vegetarian daughter. This one works great and is a family favorite,especially in the summer. I also add broccoli or any vegetable I may need to use up.

My husband made this for us last night minus the ham and it was excellent; we both agreed next time we make it we will lightly toast slivered almonds and add, but excellent the way my husband made it too.

Very good. Used leftovers and made fried rice. Just warmed up in pan with soy sauce then scrambled up egg with it. Yummy!

We can't get quinoa in our small community, so I tried using quick cook barley instead. Added some chopped celery for crunch and extra Italian seasoning. Even my husband loved it!
