Supper Sunday!

Worked kicked my butt this weekend.  I had 2 short 5 hour shifts on Friday and Saturday but a lonnng 9 hours on Sunday and afterward I wobbled into Publix to pick up something for dinner with no clue what I want.  Hmm.  Picked up a few things to make breakfast, ie eggs, cheese and wheat english muffins.  I got stuff to make banana pudding (bananas, banana pudding, vanilla wafers, milk, sour cream and whipped topping).  Then I decided I would do roasted veggies for dinner.  I picked up some acorn squash, sweet potatoes, turnips and onion. I'm really feeling the sweet stuff lately.

I got home and since I'm flying solo tonight as hubby is working a long mid, I didn't feel like cooking, so it was a peach (OMG it was such a delicious peach), a banana, a wheat english muffin with peanut butter and a giant glass of orange juice.  After cozying in and watching a chick flick on tv I finally decided to satisfy my fall veggie craving. 

I need to figure out why my phone pics look great on my computer but terrible on my blog :(  In the meantime let me assure you, this not only looked delicious, but tasted just as good!  

Sara's Roasted Roots

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped

3 turnip roots, peeled and chopped

1 acorn squash, cut in half, seeded, and sliced into wedges

olive oil, kosher salt, cracked pepper

1/2 white onion

walnuts

Stir to coat 1st 4 ingredients and roast in a 450 degree oven, turning after about 15 minutes, and then every 5 after that, until desired darkness and tenderness.  When satisfied, transfer root veggies to a bowl.  Place onions on sheet to roast for about 10 minutes.  Then toast walnuts on the hot sheet for 5 minutes.  Toss all roasted ingredients with some honey balsamic vinegar and enjoy! 

The veggies caramelize and sweeten up with the heat, even the turnip.  I almost feel like it's desert because it was so delicious.  Now it's time to catch up on my water since I've not drank nearly enough of it today (I hate having to pee every 15 minutes at work.  Although I'm not overwhelmingly thrilled with waking up 4 times a night to pee either, I'll take that alternative over the other.

Baby liked something I ate tonight (or didn't like, I'm not sure how to tell which it is, really) because after I finished eating and I was relaxing on the couch again, I could feel her moving around.  For kicks I lifted my shirt over my already huge at 23 weeks belly, and I could SEE her movement for the first time!  Wild!!  And exciting!   And now it's time to go lay down and stare at the belly some more, Goodnight!!  :)
