Use up those bits!

That's what some British people say anyway....

So you are coming to the end of the week.  You need to use those veggies!  If you don't get the food box, you can still do this with what you have.  For those who get the food box weekly this is a good thing to do to save waste.

Say you eat at someones house, your kid has a birthday party and you could not get to all that goodness and you don't want it to go bad.

Here's what I did:

Pan Roast

Who doesn't like a good pan roast?

I used the bits I had on hand so please adapt it to what you have.

3 cloves garlic chopped up
1 yam chopped
1 sm Zucchini squash chopped
6 small potatoes -chopped into chunks
half red and yellow and green peppers - slices
a few mushrooms - sliced

I usually add onion but i ran out!
(You can also roast some cut up chicken or sausage or use as a side dish.)

Drizzle all over with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) - if you think it will be too dry only add a tiny splash of water or it will be mushy!
Add Rosemary, thyme, sage, some parsley if you have or you can use whatever herbs you love! I have a love relationship with Rosemary!

Mix all together, call it a day, roast in oven at about 375 depending on your oven for about 45mins to an hour.

The kids can even eat it with ketchup if you want.  Who cares, look how many veggies they are getting lol
