During the Summer, I rarely turn the oven on. Our apartment itself can act like an oven, so we tend to eat simple dinners like spinach salads and things I can cook on the stovetop. Autumn, however, is a totally different matter! I have been itching to make whole wheat bread the last few days. I followed this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/simple-whole-wheat-bread/detail.aspx (Please note, any breads I make are by hand. The bread maker in the house is ME, not a machine.) I was going to make soup, but David said he preferred roasted vegetables. I cut up a whole onion, 3 very small potatoes, a small butternut squash and 2 small sweet potatoes. I wish I had bought some broccoli for some greens. (I had expected to make soup!) I cut everything very thin, lightly drizzled some olive oil and garlic powder and stuck it in the oven at 375° for 30 minutes. I figured the cost of the meal to be about five dollars for a family of three. I love the farmers' market!! There's even leftovers (as I wouldn't let David eat all of the bread.) Maybe I should've made that apple pie... |

Looks great. I love the bread. I'm waiting for the cooler weather so I can bake too.
I'm with you Kelly, By summer's end I yearn to bake and roast. This weekend made a bread and butter pudding with all the stale frozen bread. Next month/week coconut oatmeal cookies!
Yum! Looks simple yet quite delish. Thanks for sharing in Blog Love last week the link regarding baked bread recipes. I actually printed off one....now to try my hand at it.
That meal looks delicious. I'm going to make some bread right now. Did you see that there is a Richard Scary printed fabric out now? Look at the true up blog.
Our resident manager asked what I was cooking one night when I was roasting squash and onions...such a delicious smell. Lucky family with you orchestrating kitchen arts. xo
I have those same plates, Kelly! I bake all our bread too, no machine either. I should send you my recipe for the dough I typically use. It makes 3 or 4 round loaves, can keep in the fridge for up to a week and taste fabulous! I'm with you on the simple, yet filling, meals. I love to cook and use the freshest ingredients possible for economy and taste. Helps that I have an enormous veggie and herb garden which keeps me well stocked. That meal looks YUMMY!
