vegetable toss

This is a quick and easy side dish. I am not a huge fan of celery, so I omit that from the recipe when I make this. On occasion, I have turned this into a one skillet main dish by doubling the recipe and then adding sliced kielbasa. It's excellent. I love versatility in a recipe and this one gives the cook a great opportunity to take advantage of that.
