Savory Frozen veggie medley

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. 🙂

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

Here's a little something you can quickly whip up in one pot or pan or wok. If you have other stuff like squid, go ahead with that too! It's that simple!

I have some ingridients left in my fridge, i put them altogether... voila... yummy mix veggie...

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(:

YUMMIEST! !!! I love grilled veggies during a BBQ... my brother and his partner are dieting so this was perfect... :-) (L)

Make this quick soup for my toddler. I add a few extra shakes of salt in my bowl.

Quick, easy, and yummy! Perfect side dish for someone who doesn't have a lot of time.

Veggie or meat and veggie bowls are one of my favorite dishes to make with leftover pasta or rice. Here's one that takes a short amount of time and us healthy and filling.

Put it on a hot dog, burger, or sandwhich. Also great as dip for chips. Experiment and try it on other foods as well.Please Note: This is a party sized recipe. For a smaller serving just cut ingredients in half.

I love cooking based on theory and trying out new things, especially when based off inspiration from other recipes. I've been addicted to the most recent cookbook in my collection, The Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Lidden (if you love yummy, healthy vegan food - or even if you aren't vegan - you MUST pick this book up!!!). I had just finished making a soup from this book and it was time to make dinner. Taste buds salivating from the smells of chilli powder and cayenne pepper, I whipped up this concoction using ingredients I already had in my kitchen. Let's just say both mine and my boyfriend's tastebuds (and bellies) have been so satisfied with this recipe, I had to make it a second time this week, we were craving it so much. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do :)
