How to Make Roasted Vegetable Pasta Salad This recipe is easy to make, but has 3 components. First, you’ll toss some chopped vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange them on a baking sheet and cook in the oven until tender. While the oven is taking care of the veggies, you can prepare your pasta on the stove top. I typically use brown rice pasta to keep this recipe gluten-free, but you can use any pasta you like and cook it according to the package directions....

You may also know them as Thai spring rolls, or salad rolls. This recipe was originally inspired by the Garden Vegetable Rolls I used to buy in the prepared section of my local grocery store, back when we lived in California.

How to Cut the Sweet Potatoes The key to sweet potato hash is cutting the sweet potatoes into smaller pieces than you might usually. I like to cut them into half-inch pieces, so they will cook in roughly the same time as the peppers and onions. Try to cut the sweet potatoes into similar sizes, so they will cook evenly. I don’t bother peeling them, because there are antioxidants in their skin (and peeling them is extra effort that I’m not willing to give), but you can peel them if you prefer it that way....

So, I used to think that stir fry recipes were for the birds. What, you throw some vegetables into a pan, add some soy sauce, and call it a day. (No wonder my stir fries used to suck.) I have come a long way since that kind of thinking and although this recipe is certainly versatile with what vegetables you can use, I get my caboose to the store every single time I’m going to make this, because this exact vegetable combo is my favorite....

The Best Thumbprint Cookies Recipe I’m already being asked for my cookies for Christmas so here I am baking pretty much for the entire month.

These are the main seasonings you’ll find in sweet potato pie: Cinnamon Vanilla Nutmeg If you love nutmeg, you can increase the amount called for in this recipe to 1/2 teaspoon total.

And I’m so glad I listened to you guys, because these are some of the tastiest snack bars I’ve ever had! They taste like a peanut butter cookie, but better.
