Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
Another month has passed and it’s time for another round of The Secret Recipe Club. I’m taking a break from posting pink food for just one day to bring you this awesome fall vegetable dish. For those of you who don’t know about Secret Recipe Club, you sign up to participate, then are assigned another blog. Then, everyone posts on the same day revealing the blog they were assigned.
This month, my blog assignment was A Vegan Obsession. I have to admit that I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to find anything I would want to make… But sure enough, as I started reading through the recipes, I was starring quite a few of them.
I chose this Balsamic Roasted Vegetable dish because I had quite a few veggies laying around from our last CSA box. I love how customizable this recipe could be. You can literally use almost any vegetables that you have on hand. All of the veggies that I used were from our CSA.
Hubby and I devoured these vegetables. We absolutely loved them and have made them a couple times this month already.

Oh, if only there were a Trader Joes here *le sigh*
This post made me lol (literally) because my husband’s in the process of getting an Aeronautical Engineering degree 🙂
OMG! thats freaking hilarious! Must show my other nerd friends…
Definitely showing “nerd” boyfriend this. He’ll probably run right over to Trader Joe’s after work. Great catch!
This is too funny! I haven’t been to TJ’s in a while so I’ve missed the Avocado’s Magic Number. Great find and thanks for sharing!

That is so cute! No fair there’s no TJ here!
Haha, that IS pretty darn nerdy. What a great find!
My non-nerd g/f sent this to me to see if I’d understand the reference. I’m an EE, so I started laughing as soon as I saw the picture. 🙂 Luckily, I’m used to her odd looks when I start chuckling over something geeky like that. 🙂
