vegetabled dishes are braised, grilled, marinated and roasted. one of delicious roasted vegetables is roasted fennel which is known as the CONTORNO here in Italy.

Somewhat labor intensive, these authentic style Carnitas are SO worth the prep and slow-cook time! I always do the slow-cook of the pork the day before. Day 2 is when I broil/char the pork to serve with my homemade refried beans and warm flour tortillas.Melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and leftovers freeze and reheat very well; so if you're a small household, don't hesitate to make this: cook once, eat 4+ times.

This is a twist on something my grandmother used to make and it is awesome!!

So easy and light summer dish. Low carb too.

i love salad... all types of salad, fruits and vegetables!

The weather is getting so cold, and sometimes it's hard to predict when the family will be home for dinner. Cooking too early means the food gets cold, and cooking too late means everyone is too hungry. Using the oven is a great solution!The homemade tomato sauce already has spices, so there's no need to sauté onions separately. Just use it directly.North African baked eggs with a tomato base and soft-boiled eggs is one of my favorite dishes. It's delicious with crispy fried bread slices. Today, I've switched to spaghetti and used a baking dish to bake the eggs until they're soft-boiled. Serving it individually makes it look elegant and tasty.

LEFTOVERS!! My mom made a point to me the other day. She said ‘sherry, your shining moments are with your leftovers’ lol this time it was the leftovers AND veg that needed to be used before it went south. I tried it a little differently this time trying to get that really good charred taste you get from the Mongolian fry guy. This was not disappointing at all. ☺️I think the key things were having my ingredients prepped and ready, the iron skillet and the high heat. You need a good metal spatula that works well scraping also.

The fennel and spring onions were a nice seasonal combination for this roast. Aromatic and tasty dish.

Pasta is a great thing to use to save money and bulk out a meal. Most dried pastas are eggless

This is a slow but super easy and really delicious meal. For the veg marinade, I slightly modified Nom Nom Paleo's sauce from her chicken and mushroom tray bake. When added to the roast, it transforms into a fantastic pan gravy.

Combine the tart flavor of the tomatillo to roasted onions, tomatoes, and garlic for a mouth full of more, please.

Most meals in our home come with a healthy serving of fresh produce.This is one easy and delicious way to enjoy your veg, and it goes well with grilled meats and pasta, among other things. Leftovers are great in an omelette.I've included both stovetop and oven roasting instructions.
