Moroccan Vegetable Curry

Yesterday was such a relaxing day here in Virginia.  We didn't have any commitments and relaxed by laying around on our couch watching movies.....all - day - long.

While my husband and son indulged on sci-fi movies (kid-friendly of course), I spent some "me" time in our kitchen.

One of my favorite places in the world!  

After chopping, sauteing, and simmering, we had one of our favorite vegetarian dishes for lunch - Moroccan Vegetable Curry with Brown Rice.

Simple and very easy to make.

Enjoy!
