Roasted Winter Root Vegetables

Wednesday was our last food share pick up... I am bummed --- REALLY bummed. I have really enjoyed our weekly pick up.


Luckily - I have been saving vegetables. I have learned how to can. I canned applesauce, salsa, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes and jelly. We bought a food savor -- so I have been freezing away! :) We have Kale, Beans, Spinach, Basil, Bell Peppers, Carrots, Green Onion, Chives and more! I am stocked up on sweet potatoes and winter squash, too!


Now to find new dishes to put them them and use them up!!!! Like this one, Crockpot Roasted Winter Root Vegetables!!!!

I will miss you food share --- UNTIL next Spring/Summer!

Chicken Recipe to come!
