Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower with Lemon and Garlic

This side dish is so yummy and fast! I actually cut up all the broccoli and cauliflower, but only cooked half, leaving us with veggies to munch on for days.

Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower with Lemon and Garlic
From Martha Stewart

1 head broccoli (1lb) cut into 1 inch florets and peeled stalks
1 large head cauliflower (2lbs) cut into florets
3 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves
2 lemons, thinly sliced
coarse salt
ground pepper (I can't stand pepper, so I left this out)

Preheat oven to 475. On two rimmed baking sheets, toss broccoli and cauliflower with oil, garlic, and lemons. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until vegetables are browned and tender, 25 to 30 min, rotating sheets top to bottom and tossing vegetables once halfway through.

Serves 4, prep 10min, total 40min

I'm Starting a Cooking Blog??

These last few months, I've been cooking more. LOTS more. This means an abundance of new recipes. It's been enjoyable, and the family loves it. So...

It's my new years resolutions to cook an average of two new things a week. I've already been trying at least that many, so this is more to keep it going than to push me to new heights. If they're good, I'll share them with you. Plus, I'll share old favorites as I make them as well. Because I keep making them for a reason!

Some things I should maybe mention:

- I pull recipes from all over the place. Some of them from other friends blogs. I apologize for any repetition, but I'm glad we have the same awesome friends!

- I won't include any secret family recipes without permission, mom.

- I'm also on a food storage kick, so you may see occasional recipes using long-term food storage ingredients. Actually, you use them in most baked goods, so you'll be seeing food storage recipes a lot.

- I do a ton of baking. A TON. I like yummy things. Usually they're sweet, but I'm working on bready things too.

- I don't promise to provide you with healthy recipes. We love our meat, butter, cheese, sugar, chocolate, and carbs. (Don't worry, we're huge vegetable fans too.)

- I take contributions! I don't mean money. (That's a lie. Send me money anytime!) I mean recipes. If you have a great one, please share it with me. I know that I'm not the only one who doesn't mind cooking, but hates coming up with what to eat. The more we share, the more ideas we'll have to draw from.
