Using my leftover roasted veggies - Egg Casserole

My leftover roasted veggies
Mixed
- 7 eggs (because that's what I had)
- grated cheese mix (also what was in the fridge)
- a dash of hot sauce
Mixed in leftover veggies and sprinkled cheese on top. Baked at 400 degrees till it was browned and solid all the way through.

My daughter actually ate her whole piece, veggies and all!

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.

Buy in season and help the farmers

Made my first trip to a local farmer's market yesterday and I loved it. Thank you to my friend who encouraged me to go because I've benn meaning to but the invite spurred me on.

So here's another tip - buy in season fruits and veges to save. Go ahead and find out what's in season and buy those as they will have the lowest prices. Your farmers market may even have a website to tell you what's in season.

Of course, the other reason they're great is because we can support our local economies.

I could tell you a whole lot more about Farmer's Markets, but someone else already did. So check out A Little Greener Everyday for Farmer's Market tips like how to find one near you and how to shop for the lowet prices.
