For My Kids {Simple Roasted Vegetables Recipe)

A simple Roasted Vegetables Recipe, a family favorite almost too simple to share.

Sometimes I forget why I started this blog. I get caught up in the business of it… the money making, social media-ing, sponsor touting, craft honing, etc. I forget that the reason I started Dine & Dish almost 10 years ago was to have a space on the web to leave legacy behind for my kids. I wanted to create a place where they could always turn to to get a taste of home, no matter how far away they were. My focus was not to see what special words I could use to get to the top of a google search, or picture I could create to get the most likes and shares on Facebook, but instead my focus was to an audience of 4…the kids I’m raising today.

So, when I share recipes like this roasted vegetables recipe, I feel a little silly. I mean, I understand roasted vegetables are not a difficult thing to make and many people know how to make them. However, my 4 kids don’t yet, and someday in the future they may want to know how their mom made the roasted vegetables we have so often for dinner, so I’m going to share it here….

Roasted Veggie Pizza for #PizzaWeek

If you like vegetable pizza than you will love this oven roasted veggie pizza, the recipe I’m sharing today for a blogging collaboration called #PizzaWeek.

I like vegetables, a lot. I always have. In fact, growing up when I got to choose my birthday dinner the main thing I would ask for was lima beans. (Really…lima beans? Does anyone even eat lima beans anymore?)

For someone who likes veggies, I’ve never been a huge fan of vegetable pizza. I’m sure we’ve all experienced those pizza chain pizzas with the rubbery tasting onions and peppers on top of a soggy crusted pizza lacking in flavor. I just always assumed that’s what vegetable pizzas were like. Thank goodness I grew out of that phase and wised up because one of my favorite things ever right now is Oven Roasted Veggie Pizza. …

Recipe: Grilled Vegetable Medley with Blue Cheese Dressing

We were finally able to fire up the grill this weekend… and by we I mean my husband – I still have no idea how to use the thing. It doesn’t help that it is missing knobs and ghetto rigged to where only he knows how to turn it on. I’m not feeling bitter about that at all.*ahem*

Did you know that when I first met my husband, he pretty much would only eat two vegetables and that was it… corn and potatoes. From what he tells me, he was a typical Iowa farm kid who grew up on a pretty stringent diet of meat and potatoes. As would be expected, right? …
