My Favorite Vegetables

Here's a confession, I want to hate Wal-Mart, but I just can't. After too many documentaries on them and their bad labor practices, I truly want to dislike them. I also live in the land of Target, wonderful, clean and shiny Target. But, I have to admit, this weekend, I started to like Wal-Mart, just a little bit.

Why, you ask? Because:They carry giant bags of delicious frozen vegetables, specificially the Birds Eye Normandy Blend (72 oz) - with BIG cuts of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green and yellow zucchini. It is so yummy, and the best part, it was only $5.98. Seriously. $5.98 for a freaking huge bag of vegetables that I can keep in my freezer, and cook only the portion I need - given the resealable bag. (I am not compensated for any of this stuff I say, so this is all my opinion).

Roasted Vegetables

1 - 2 cups Normandy Blend
Olive Oil
Seasoning (I like Trader Joe's Everyday Blend)

I cover a sheet pan or glass Pyrex baking dish with foil, put the vegetables on, lightly pour on the olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Stir. Roast in a 375 degree oven for about 40 minutes, stirring about 20 minutes in. You can roast them longer or shorter depending on your taste.

Theses are great - I just roasted a bunch yesterday, tossed them in the fridge and will use them in for a variety of items such as:

- Egg Bites (shout out to Eggface)
- Sandwich toppers
- Turkey Meatloaf
- Turkey Burger toppers
- Veggie Sandwich
