Sometimes it's hard to measure...

I scoured the Internet high and low for "how many whole mushrooms equals half a cup" and to no avail. Then I tried to convert "how much does a half cup of veggies weigh". We all know I'm not a math whiz, but all this measuring confusion is driving me batty. I settled for 6 pieces each of mushrooms, zucchini, and yellow peppers. How do you measure what a half cup of a veggie is anyway? Anyone? Do you chop it, fit it in half a cup, then try to remember how many pieces it was? Lol. Geesh. I'll have to do more research. But you definitely need whole veggies or bigger chunks when you're making this. Yum!
