Finally, the rain is gone!! It was such a beautiful day – a little cool, but were still able to enjoy a delicious dinner out on the deck.

Roasted Vegetables

Roasted veggies are so easy to make, and so tasty. Even people who think they absolutely hate Brussels sprouts (almost) always like them roasted like this. I used Brussels sprouts, broccoli, potatoes (new, purple, and mini Yukon Gold), sweet potatoes, eyeball (pearl) onions, beets, carrots, and garlic. I drizzled liberally with olive oil and seasoned the vegetables with salt, pepper, and thyme. I also added a little water to the dish and stirred throughout roasting so they wouldn’t dry out. These took about 2 hours at 375°, but roasting times vary according to size, amount, etc.

PW’s Fancy Macaroni

Pioneer Woman‘s Fancy Macaroni is so incredibly good. I used grated Gruyere, Swiss, and Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese. I also threw in some shredded Cheddar/Jack because I ran out of Chevre, which I used last time. PW says to serve it as a side dish, but it’s so rich and filling that a small bowl of it is enough of a meal for me!

Nine!

Happy Birthday, my little Pinkie Pie!
