Make It: Roasted Feast in an Hour

You know I love roasting food, so here’s another whole meal you can make completely in the oven!

First, I pre-heated the oven to 400 degrees. That’s the temperature at which you’re going to cook all the elements of this dinner. As soon as the oven reached 400, I threw my acorn squash in (just cut it in half and place on a baking sheet or dish). It has to cook the longest, so I started it before anything else.

Then, I prepped the ingredients for Mini Turkey Meatloaves. All the veggies look so pretty!

I bought the best ground turkey I could find.

No antibiotics, vegetarian-fed, no growth hormones. If I’m going to eat meat, I’m going to make sure it’s the best I can find.

Where did this come from?! You know La Nutritionista doesn’t drink often, so when I do, I make sure it’s tasty. I’ve been craaaaving pumpkin ale for a couple weeks now, and I finally bought myself some. This was DELICIOUS Kennebunkport Pumpkin Ale from (where else?) Trader Joe’s. Totally hit the spot.

While I was sipping my pumpkin ale, I chopped up a head of broccoli, tossed it in olive oil, salt, pepper, and some parmesan cheese. When the squash was about halfway done cooking, I threw the broccoli and mini meatloaves in the oven.
