Nutty Veggies

I have a 10 year old nephew who just told me that he hates the word "veggies". 

In fact, he can't stand it. He gets like a rash all over his body when he hears someone say it.

So, that is why I'm going to keep saying it.

One, because he would rather make a mustache out of my shaved eyebrows than ever read my blog, and 

Two, because I know it annoys him,

I am such an awesome aunt. 

High five!

And I am not just doing it out of spite for all the times he drew pictures on the walls with my make up pencil.

Nope.

So, let's move along, folks. 

Here's what you'll need:

• sesame oil
• olive oil
• butter
• soy sauce
• broccoli
• red pepper
• potatoes
• pine nuts
• ginger root (optional)
• garlic
• garlic salt

Boil taters and after draining them, don't put them back on the burner like some clod I know, unless you know you turned it off for sure. Argh...:(.

Heat olive oil and a bit of butter together. It depends on how much oil you like and how big a serving you're cooking. 

 Sprinkle potatoes with garlic salt and fry for a few minutes (at least until they look fried).

When taters done, add brockles (broccoli).

Add red peppers and pine nuts. You could probably add them to the pan with the potatoes so that they can brown up more.

Add 1 TSP grated ginger root. Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle a bit of garlic salt. Or add any other spices you like. The sky's the limit. I don't think I've ever cooked anything with less than 8 spices before, but there is a first time for everything, as my bookie says...

Anyway...VOILA!
And don't let it turn you off just because it's healthy.
