Losing Libby: Roasted Veggie Mania

Posted by Libby April 10, 2010 at 1:42 PM

I just roasted a big pan of vegetables. Saturday is Farmer's Market day, and I wanted to roast what was left over from last week. Basically a couple onions and bell peppers. I added a few things from this week as well, including a whole bulb of garlic (stinky but delish) and a leek. Random? Yes. Delicious? Most definitely yes.

I used Wegman’s Basting Oil to coat my veggies with. A little bit goes a long way, and makes all the difference. It is a great product. I feel lucky to live near Wegman’s, but am sure jealous of all you guys that have Trader Joe’s near you.

Anywho some food porn for your Saturday:

Don’t mind my ghetto baking sheets. If you’re invited to my wedding – you can guess why I registered for new ones!

I kicked my bottle of basting oil so I decided to make my own since I have my Aerogarden working overtime:

I got this nifty bottle at Ikea and have never used it. I chopped up a crap load of lemon basil, Genovese basil, oregano, and thyme. Added a bit of chopped garlic and used a combo of EVOO and canola oil. Not too shabby looking eh?? New Aero with 4 kinds of basil. Nice.

These look tasty eh? Oh…don’t mind the stevia packet.

You ask – Libby…how do you have time to be roasting vegetables and cleaning fruit, and playing 39487329852 hours of Farmville on Facebook? (BTW – Add me if you haven’t!)

This guy is the best guy. I attempted to sneak up on my soon to be husband sorting out our laundry, but he caught me and said, “What are you trying to put a picture of me doing laundry up on your blog!?” Damn…foiled again. He’s a keeper ladies!

So that’s my Saturday so far. I have to finish up the wedding invites today, and clean, but other than that it is Farmville and maybe hitting up the GYM. I would like to get rolling back on the Couch to 5K program that I started around Christmas time and now it is April. Holy hell when did April get here??

Anywho one last picture. This is my niece Taelor Jean:
