Not your Momma's Veggies

I am not a huge fan of veggies but...I totally get that for our health we are supposed to be getting several helpings of them a day. Blah Blah Blah. So, I had to start coming up with some ways to get these veggies in our bellies. So, I decided to roast 'em and throw some syrup on 'em. Here is my favorite way to get my veggies in:

2 sweet potatoes

1 purple onion

1 red pepper

(you can also add carrots and butternut squash)

1/3 cup oil

1/4 cup maple syrup (I usually add a lil bit more)

Salt

Pepper

Garlic

Spray dish with non stick spray. Cut up all of your veggies and toss them together.

Drizzle the oil on top

Then the syrup

Add salt, pepper and a touch of garlic. Toss together till veggies are coated.

Bake veggies at 450, uncovered, for an hour. I usually take them out at the 30 minute mark and re-toss. Just to make sure they aren't sticking and getting completely coated.

Ta da! Sweet and caramelized goodness. Get some!

Sausage Balls....Yummmmm!!

We love sausage balls!!! This is one of those dishes that are a staple around Christmas. They are super easy to whip up and are great for parties too! I love mine with a big glass of Dr. Pepper. Can't get more tasty than that. Here is the recipe:

4 cups Bisquick mix

1 10 oz package of Cheddar Cheese

1/2 cup of parmesan cheese

1 pound of hot sausage (I like to buy the smaller rolls and do half regular half hot)

1 Tblsp of Parsley flakes

1/2 cup of milk

Add all the ingredients together

Knead together until it looks like this

Roll into balls and put on greased cookie sheet.

Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until bottom is brown.

Serve hot or cold and enjoy!
