September 2025
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

Roasted Vegetable Medley

This one is from Renee Endress’s third cookbook. Very easy and oh so delicious.

Prepare about this many chunked/sliced vegetables in a big bowl (that’s a Tupperware CrystalWave bowl, similar in size to the Tupperware Thatsa Bowl). Use your choice of colored peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, onions, potatoes, carrots, fresh pea pods, fresh green beans, brocolli florets, cauliflower, and any other vegetable you choose.

Mix together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour over vegetables and mix well. I used my hands which worked well. Dump into two large roasting pans.

Bake at 425d for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

That’s it.

How easy is that?! And so pretty. And so so delicious. And healthy too . . . unlike the last few recipes to remember! . . . And a really nice change from the usual beans/peas/carrots/corn that we can get tired of. 

This traveled well in my Very Old-Fashioned TemperServe carrier when we took it to U. Don’s for supper Saturday night. This amount serves about 12 people.

Enjoy!
