Roasting up my Garden Veggies

Saw this way to roast my garden veggies, don't remember what it's called but I adapted what Tyler Florence did on "How to Boil Water"

I'm also proud to say that the veggies that weren't fresh from the garden were local from the Farmer's Market(except my garlic from the jar:)!

Sauteed the sliced onions and poblano peppers in Olive Oil with garlic.

Once they were done frying I spread the onions and peppers out on the bottom of the baking dish. You can see me moving a zucchini below to show you because I forgot to take a picture.
Lot's of colors means lots of vitamins! I layered zucchini, japanese eggplant and tomatoes.
Covered with bread crumbs I made with bread ends and baked at 400 degrees
till brown and zucchini's were soft.


On the plate you'll also see couscous (from the box) cooked in chicken stock with a little parsley and Chicken Carbonara which I'm not sharing because none of us liked it

I used the leftover veggies to make an egg casserole that my daughter and I ate for lunch.

My first try at Catfish! Wow!

Veggies fresh from my garden - tomatoes, Japanese eggplant, poblano peppers, and chili peppers (which didn't make it in this meal)

Chopped them up, covered with olive oil and garlic and roasted at 400 degrees in the oven, so good.












Marinated the catfish in buttermilk and Cajun seasoning (because Emeril said you can marinate any seafood in this) then double dipped (dipped in flower mixture, in buttermilk mixture and back in flower mixture) I added cornmeal and Cajun seasoning to the flower mixture. After they were all coated I fried them up. All of my kids and my hubby (and myself) dug the catfish!

Sides were from Kashi and corn from the Farmer's Market (in addition to the roasted veggies).



Topped the fish with the veggies, so good. Will definitely try again.
By the way - got the catfish at Aldis:)
