1-1/2 pounds)

1 yellow bell pepper — cut in 1 1/2″ pieces
1 medium onion — cut in 1 1/2″ pieces
1 zucchini — cut in 1/2″ slices

What Spice Are You

You Are Cilantro

The bad news is that
there are some people
who can't stand you.
The good news is that
most people love you more
than anything else in the world.
You are distinct, unusual, fresh,
and very controversial.
And you wouldn't have it
any other way.
