Day 332

Chunky Vegetable Greek Pizza & Garlic Fingers

Pizza Delight

Take-Out Menu

Starving and tired, so we ordered out. I placed the order online and went over to pick it up. Took the dog with me. Easy breezy.

This pizza is pretty good, although I find it a bit oily. Like they drizzle olive oil over it or something. Good though!

It's Saturday now, and I'm playing catch-up with the blog because it was a tiresome week and I made pickles instead of blogging on the nights I wasn't out visiting someone, but as I recall we enjoyed our meal. PD definitely makes the best garlic fingers.

Roasted Roots

Day 325

Roasted Roots

Roasted Roots

Laura harvested a crispy green cabbage and some of the sweet potatoes today. We were glad to get any sweet potatoes since they were planted late, but we did get some of each variety, though they're small. Everything in this meal is from the garden.

Ingredients

Cabbage
Sweet potatoes

Carrots

Parsnips
Green beans

Carrots, parsnips & sweet potatoes

Green cabbage

Shallots

Potatoes

Fresh Herbs

I wish I could share the smell of the herbs with you. My hands smell like heaven  right now, after stripping them from their stems. It's indescribable. We call this mix the Scarborough Fair Deluxe.

Parsley
Sage
Rosemary
Thyme
Oregano

Fresh herbs

Directions

Everything gets washed thoroughly, then chopped if needed into similarly-sized pieces then into the roast pan with half an inch of water to roast about 45 minutes at 400 degrees F.

The veggies that take longer go into the oven first, then we add the rest, like the beans and smaller potatoes after 20-25 minutes.

After 20 minutes, beans and smaller veggies added

As you may know, this (or a version thereof) was the first meal we blogged and we've had it many times over the course of the year. It just never really gets old. It's more delicious than you would guess, although Missy could tell you. You may think you've had roasted vegetables before, but believe me, if they weren't pulled from the garden and roasted with herbs, you haven't really tried this meal.

We rate this a 9.5. No nutrition, but that's okay for now. We'll eat some lettuce later. It tasted wonderful after a rough and stressful week and an evening of yard work.

Greco's Burnt Garlic Fingers

Day 238

Only a day after the burnt pizza, too.

Greco box

Burnt Garlic Fingers

No, we did not reheat these. They came this way. Not sure if they put them through the oven twice or what. Perhaps not completely burnt, but very, very, very overdone. Yes, we ate them anyway. Yes, they were tough as heck.

Hmm...I give these a...4. Laura gave them a 4, too!

Burnt Pizza

Day 237

Laura was thinking ahead today and ordered a medium George's pizza for lunch, figuring we'd also have it for supper.

Burnt Pizza

We each had a piece right after work to hold us over until all errands were run, etc. Later I preheated the oven and put the last 3 pieces in and promptly forgot about it. Oops!

BK Veggie Burgers

Soooo, I ran down to Burger King and got us each a veggie burger and side. No drinks. Ugh...not our best choice of the week but we still haven't had time to replenish the pantry. Soon...has to be soon...

BK take-out

Reviews/Comments

Meh. I give this meal a 2. Meaning that with 100 vegetarian meals presented before me, this would fall in the bottom 20, with at least 80 meals looking better to me than this.

Laura gives it a 5. WOW! It's because she had cheese sticks, which she really enjoys...lol

Well, they're mini pizzas, one of our favorite meals, so they get an automatic 9 from me, and the fresh herbs boost them up to a 9.5.
