Because frozen veggies are for winter….

Use whatever you have.
Here’s what I used:

• 2 ears of corn, sliced
• 4 medium sized red potatoes
• 1 onion sliced into rings
• 2 zucchinis cut chunky like
• a couple regular tomatoes  quartered(I had some smaller caprise tomatoes that I quartered, I ended up using 4)
• 1/2 bunch asparagus
• 1 T olive oil
• 1 T garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste (S&P)
• 1 T basil

I washed all the veggies and then cut them up to whatever specifications I listed above.  I set the oven to 350  and put the potatos and corn slices in the pan, and drizzled them with the olive oil, garlic powder, basil and S&P and topping them with the onion slices.  I cooked them in the oven for about 30 minutes before I came back to see how they were doing. They said they were fine, but would like some company, so I took the cue and added the asparagus, tomatoes, and zucchini.  I baked them for probably another 30 minutes.  Be careful that you watch them and stir them so that the more delicate veggies (asparagus, tomatoes, zucchini) don’t get really crispy gross.  The timing really all depends on how thick you cut your veggies. I was going for a more rustic, chunk style roast so that’s why mine took so long.  Use a bigger pan if you can so they have more surface area touching the pan (it’ll help put a nice crusty coat on them!)  My wall oven is a really weird size so I can’t fit bigger pans in it, so I had to adjust accordingly.

Baby #3 came on December 17th, 2010.  It was a long, hard pregnancy riddled with things I can’t even pronounce. But little guy and I made it. I had a goal of only gaining 20 lbs and having a super healthy pregnancy. Isn’t it funny to look back out ourselves, so naive and full of dreams? Grand total weight gain was Read the rest of this entry »

Joining a gym that is.
From my lovely highrise office windows I look out to the sprawling downtown of the metropolis I live in and see a gym. People come, people go. I sit and gawk at them as I eat whatever leftover food I can scavenge from recent board meetings, usually stale chips (the undesirable, leftover flavors) and rancid peanut butter (which coincidentally isn’t so bad.. at first anyhow, then the rancidity hits you like a baseball bat to the face.) I watch all the pretty people go to the gym. Now I hope some fatty will gawk at me as I join the ranks of the pretty people who work out (PPWWO for short.) Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a long time coming, but finally it happened, by accident really. The other two members of TigerFIT stumbled into my living room this morning and I bored them with some rules.

1st RULE: You talk at TigerFIT meetings.  Read the rest of this entry »

Hi. I’ve been nominated to help my friends and family get healthy. This is the blog where I will document this feeble attempt.
