Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

August 28, 2015 Melissa King 6 Comments

Whenever I have veggies that look on the verge of going bad, I roast them. That is exactly what I did to these Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes. These are so delicious you guys! You can throw them in zoodles or regular pasta, add them to stir fries or just eat as a side dish. They are also good for homemade pizza. One of the easiest recipes you will ever make.

I haven’t tried freezing these, so I am not sure if you could. If anyone tries, please let me know. I will be having these today with some avocado toast. Yummy!!

Tomato Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I made you guys some Tomato Roasted Brussels Sprouts! We have been staying with my in-laws during our home renovation. My mother in law turned me on to yet another delicious way to roast Brussels sprouts. This recipe is super easy and it uses ingredients you already have in your kitchen. These tomato roasted Brussels sprouts are great as a side dish, or you can serve them over quinoa for a complete meal. If you also love Brussels Sprouts, you will also like my maple glazed Brussels sprouts are my shaved Brussels sprouts salad with a lemon vinaigrette.

These are seriously so good, I just eat them right off the tray! They don’t last long, so I suggest making a double batch.

We have been staying at my inlaw’s house during our kitchen renovation. My mother in law made this awesome Spinach, Chickpeas and Mushrooms dish. It’s super simple to whip up and naturally I had to share it with all of you. This Spinach, Chickpeas and Mushrooms recipe could be eaten as a side dish, or you can serve it over rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Spinach, mushrooms and chickpeas are 3 of my favorite foods. If you love chickpeas as well, you may also like my maple cinnamon roasted chickpeas or my epic chickpea spread.

Easy Sesame Cauliflower (Vegan)

Easy Sesame Cauliflower. My husband Marcus has been wanting to do a Sesame Cauliflower recipe for a while now. Well he finally did and I am here to share this Sesame Cauliflower recipe with you! Think sesame chicken minus the chicken.

This stuff was really good! I could see this sesame cauliflower sauce being used on all kinds of things. Like in a stir fry or as a veggie dip. Or even a marinade. I love recipes with multiple uses. Don’t you? Kind of like my Thai Peanut Sauce.

You can add all kinds of veggies into this recipe. I could see snow peas, broccoli and red bell peppers being great additions. Also mushrooms.

You can make the sauce and saute right away, or you can let the cauliflower and other veggies marinate for an hour or two. I will definitely try the marinade next time!
