Easy Roasted Veggies

Hello! I apologize for how long it's been since I last blogged! Life has been so busy with 2 older kids who are almost teens. They have a lot going on after school and then school work. I also have a toddler and a newborn who need my attention plus my hubby to connect with :) whew!!! A lot, I know right? So one easy thing I like to do is roast up veggies with dinner. I do this quite often, at least 7 times per month. My family LOVES them. The standard mix I use is zucchini, yellow Squash, onions, sweet potatoes. Sometimes I add sweet bell peppers, tomatoes & thinly sliced carrots. The thing to remember is that some veggies cook faster than others so you will have to cut or dice accordingly. Once you cut your veggies & put them in a large bowl, preheat your oven to 425( very warm!) drizzle a nice amount of extra virgin olive oil and some sea salt, pepper, & any other seasoning that you like. Give it a good mix and pour onto a cookie sheet. Sometimes I have had to use 2 :) place into oven for 20 min or until veggies are tender. Enjoy!!!

Pork Steaks with Cream of Mushroom Soup

Pork steaks for your family size
1 can of mushroom soup(I use reduced sodium and u can sub any kind you want)

3-4 cloves chopped/minced garlic

Heat a skillet to med heat and add oil and garlic
Pepper lightly and sear each pork steak till golden
mix soup and milk together in bowl and add to pan

I like to roast sweet 'taters and other winter veggies in the oven for 30-40 minutes at about 400' drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with your favorite seasoning. I use Mrs. Dash and sea salt :)

This is a good hearty fall/winter meal that I think you'll enjoy!
