The carrots were a mix of carrots I had. The purple, white and yellow were part of this week's co-op share, the baby carrots and orange carrots were some I had purchased from the store while the co-op was on vacation that I had leftover. I added a half an onion cut up, salt and pepper and drizzled with olive oil and tossed until it was all nicely coated and put in my 9x13 glass baking dish and laid 4 long sprigs of rosemary on top. While I was gone with the girl child husband put in in the oven on 400 degrees and baked until tender.
The bread was made from the same batch of dough as the pizza crust and baked just before I headed out the door to take the girl child to her Krav Maga lesson.
And the Brussels sprouts the husband made, but I understand was just minced garlic and olive oil baked at the same time as the carrots until tender.
I will confess that I don't normally like Brussel sprouts and didn't really expect to like these, but I had 2nds. I think we finally found a recipe for them that is really good. My husband has always been fond of this vegetable, and it is the one that I didn't like. My daughter, who we had to make eat 2, ended up going for a full serving for her 2nd and 3rd helping of them.
My husband confessed that he had not been looking forward to this particular meal, because it didn't sound interesting to him, but in the end he found it very yummy and satisfying. I think I over ate on carrots and sprouts. Despite the massive amount of carrots I cooked, we barely had enough leftovers for my husband to have something to pack for lunch the next day, because we all enjoyed it more than we had expected.
BTW, most of our meals are being served on salad plates. I am not having a giant hunk of bread. It is actually a fairly small piece of bread.
