Italian Style Vegetables

This is a version of a recipe served to me by my friend Marie. I've been wanting to play with this recipe since I first had it at her house. This is my version and it can be adjusted according to your tastes, and ingredients on hand. -Sarah

diced canned tomatoes (8-14 oz.)
