Mixed Up Millet

I have been eying this recipe for weeks (and weeks) without making it. I finally made it for Erinleigh, George, and Richard on Tuesday, however I made it with waaaaaay more veggies and with what I have on hand at home. So, it doesn't actually look much anything like the original recipe however I loved it.

It looks like a lot in the ingredients list, however it was really easy to make and it had great flavor! Yummy!!  If you want something with less ingredients check out the original.  It looks very good too!!!!!!! Enjoy!!
