Using vegetables and yummy in the same sentence,

Oh goodness, I haven't posted anything here since last year. Probably because I'm not thinking as much about losing weight as I am trying to get my sugar down. On the other hand, if I lost weight my sugar WOULD go down. It's become very obvious that I'm a carb addict and oh boy do I have a sweet tooth. Why would those wonderful things be put on the earth if we weren't meant to consume them? I'm just not a vegetable kind of gal. But tonight, I did eat this.


My daughter has been telling me how good roasted vegetables are. The vegetables in my life have usually been frozen, preferably with some kind of yummy sauce. I could not imagine cutting up some veggies, tossing them with a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper and simply roasting them in then oven could possibly be good.

Color me wrong. Yummy! For the record I roasted potatoes (skins left on), sweet potatoes (also with the skin), asparagus, carrots, zucchini (with skin), red peppers, and whole cloves of garlic. I had some squash which I forgot to cut up, another day I guess. And yes, the potatoes are carbs but eating them with no added sauce along side other vegetables make them okay. I think. I'm still learning. And next time - I need to have more green vegetables. But all in all, I would recommend this cooking method for vegetables. There's nothing to it and it's surprising good! (from a carb and sugar addict, that's saying something!)
