Vegetables are a favorite in my house, and we eat just about every vegetable that is grown. One way I like to cook them, is to roast them in the oven. I have found that any vegetable, with a little extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper roasted in the oven, is a hit with my family. I used to just steam all my vegetables and didn't even put butter on them, I thought they were healthier that way, then I started to roast them in the oven. They taste so much better, and they cook up in a different way, GOOD! I roasted asparagus for dinner on Sunday, with olive oil, salt, pepper and some freshly grated parmigiano - reggiano cheese on top, just when it was about done I added the cheese. This is the only way I make asparagus and everyone loves it.
Cheese is melted and ready to be served.
I picked up these portabella mushrooms stuffed with sausage, at Wegman's, for a different take on a side dish.
And these sausage stuffed sweet cherry peppers as a side dish too. When they cook in the oven they get caramelized and sweeter.
Found a new sauce in the dairy case, with the flavored butters, at Wegman's. It's a great accompaniment with Steak or Salmon. Check out their butters and sauces, they are forever getting new ones, so try them. I keep them in the freezer and thaw when needed. I will be using a lot of these for Thanksgiving.
Check out the produce section in Costco, they now sell this Artisan Romaine Lettuce. They come 5 heads to a bag, are smaller but thicker than regular Romaine heads and more tender. The outside leaves are already trimmed, so for the most part, easy prep to make a salad.
