An easy and quick way to roast broccoli (and any other vegetables I have laying around).

This makes enough for a family. Or lots of left overs..which isn't a bad thing. I sometimes add cherry tomatoes, garlic, any fresh vegetables I have on hand.. Mix it up(:

I wanted to start eating healthier but not give up flavor ...

A tasty easy side dish. I am not one to like bell peppers but I do like red, yellow, and orange ones. The have a pepper flavor that is milder then the green ones. The potatoes really work well in this dish. I love all the vegetables in this dish so I figured I would cook them together. There is never any leftovers on this dish.

I have a vegetable garden with several kinds of squash and bell peppers, basil and tomatoes. The squash were ripe and ready to go. I have a favorite vegetable dish that has cocktail tomatoes and artichokes, but my tomatoes weren't ripe yet. So I thought I would try something a little different and started cutting up vegetables I had on hand. Since legumes (especially kidney beans) are really good for you, and olives are too, I thought I would top it off with them. But I couldn't just leave out the tomato flavor! So I added V8. I recently discovered Za'atar seasoning and decided to try it out! Then I threw in the basil that was calling out to me from my fridge. And there you have it! By the way, the photo is of the leftovers in a small 7x4x3 container so it looks like a lot of juice. But you won't see that much juice when you take it out of the oven. 🙂

Roasted vegetables in a soup. A good texture and flavor reward. It's a bit of extra work but it's worth it. I believe these are some of the best mushrooms for soup. They hold up in the soup well, give color.

Satisfying in Variety

I had lots of leftover veggies from Christmas so I decided to see what t could makeo out of them. Some were already cooked and some I roasted and cooled to add. Came out very tasty. You can use any combination of ingredients. Have fun!
