So, this isn't exactly succotash - it's BETTER! I actually got the idea for this recipe from a picture in one of my many cook books. I have no idea what the marinade or flavour of the salad in the picture was, but to me it resembled a succotash, so that's just what...

Roasted Veggies in a Pita

Cranberry-Orange-Pecan Bread Recipe
