Sage Roasted Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Veggies with Garlic


This recipe is one of my absolute favorite side dishes to make. It requires minimal prep effort and time, is extremely versatile, can feed a crowd, and tastes great (even to tiny pallets).

I started making this with only red potatoes, then I switched to sweet potatoes, then I started adding veggies, and now I make it with all kinds of potatoes and whatever vegetables I have on hand.

RECIPE:

4-6 red potatoes, washed and cubed
2 sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cubed
2 cups broccoli florets (I used frozen but raw works great too)
1 zucchini, sliced
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil (approximately)
2 tsp. sage
3 cloves of garlic minced

Set the oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet, hand toss the potatoes and vegetables in the olive oil until everything is evenly coated. Sprinkle the sage and garlic and toss again. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.


This was the version I made this week. I love this recipe because it doesn't matter if you don't have an ingredient. You can use whatever kinds of potatoes or veggies you like. Typically I add asparagus, peppers, and even smoked sausage to make it a complete meal. I must add that this is our favorite way to eat broccoli. When broccoli is roasted it has a little bit of crunch and is really tasty. A friend of mine makes something similar to this dish and she uses a grilling basket on the barbeque to give it that awesome smoky flavor.

You can't go wrong with this one!

30 Gluten-Free Crock Pot Meals that Won't Break the Bank

In honor of my dad, this round of crock potting is gluten-free. Over the summer my dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and when I found out, I cringed for him. My dad, like me, loves food - all kinds of food but especially pastas, pizzas, bread. How on earth could we take out so many delicious foods that fall under the category of "gluten" and still be satisfied? Apparently it's not as hard as I thought. These recipes are REALLY good, completely satisfying, super easy, and very affordable. I did 30 meals for $168 (this includes a strainer I needed plus disposable trays for the two freezer meals). Keep in mind these recipes are NOT Paleo or AIP. They are simply GLUTEN FREE. That also doesn't mean fat-free or calorie-free. Sorry, folks! ;) You also won't find any cream of whatchamacallit or seasoning packets. Not because I'm completely opposed to them (though I do know they are highly processed and not good for us), but because most, if not all of them...

Two Months Gone By...

11 lbs. 13 oz., 22 inches! The Family Comedian! As I sip on my afternoon coffee, listen to Christmas music, and start decorating for the season, I can't help but feel like I'm living in a dream. Both my babies are sound asleep and the rain is softly tapping on the windows. Now if only if I got a shower and my makeup done, this would be a scene straight from an ABC Family Christmas movie. :) But really, who cares? I know Isaiah and Maci don't. Isaiah just wants me to play and kiss his boo-boo's all better and Maci just wants to nurse and cuddle. I still can't believe they're both mine. So sweet, so innocent...so mischievous, at times. I love all the moments, all the moods, all the messes...all of it. Maybe not all the time but once I get a chance to reflect on the chaos that has become my life, I can't help but feel overjoyed. There's a sense of calmness in my heart and my home that I've never felt...even when Isaiah colors on the floor and Maci ...

Am I pregnant or stupid?

I've read stories about people getting the "pregnant stupids" and while I think they're hysterical, I think I've got them...bad. All the time. Every day. My guess is that because I lucked out with morning sickness (or lack of), God decided to turn me into an idiot. Case in point. Thursday afternoon, I drove all the way home from work (about 20 minutes) only to realize I forgot my work keys, which I needed to open the office the next morning. So I had to rush back to work before my co-worker left at 5 p.m. to grab them. She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her I was. Then when I got home, Darren and I were going to meet my aunt and uncle and cousins downtown for dinner. So we rushed off to dinner and as soon as we hit the busy grid of downtown, I realized, I FORGOT MY PHONE. This would be OK any other day except for the fact that 1) I was the only one that had any of their phone numbers and 2) We didn't even designate a spot to meet - we were just going to...
