Growing up I used to dislike vegetable sides at dinner. I think during most of the 90’s people were eating vegetables out of a can and they lacked flavor, crunch and pazazz. Fast forward to Easter a few years ago when I was asked to bring a veggie side dish. Ugh. So I decided to try something new. I knew that I liked roasted vegetables such as potatoes and carrots and onions, but I wanted them to have more warmth and flavor so I decided to open the spice cabinet and smell all of the spices until I decided on rosemary. This was one of the first recipes I created and I loved how it turned out. Since then I have eaten it as a side, or have even made it my main with the addition of pesto and a cut up veggie sausage. These roasted veggies are perfect for a healthy side dish with lunch or dinner, they last a week in the fridge and can be enjoyed throughout the week!
Ingredients 5 red potatoes peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces 4 large carrots peeled and diced into coins ½ red onion sliced into ½ inch slices Olive oil ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper 2T chopped fresh rosemary or use 1T of chopped dried rosemary 
Directions 3-4 servings

Vegetarian Taco Dip
The holidays are upon us and there are many parties, events and gigs to attend and prepare for. I was asked to bring an appetizer for our Christmas day gathering and I had very little time to prepare. I was craving something with Mexican flavors so I decided to create a taco dip with the items I had in my pantry and freezer. I ended up using mostly Trader Joe products such as their Vegan refried Beans and my absolute favorites, Pepita Salsa and their Frozen Mexican style roasted corn! We enjoyed the dip with Trader Joe’s Corn Dippers chips! It was a huge success and I thought I should share it as an easy Make Ahead for your next holiday gathering! Enjoy!! Ingredients 1 can of vegetarian refried beans 1 bag of TJ’s Mexican Style Roasted Corn cooked to package directions (optional) ½ jar of TJ’s Pepita Salsa or any salsa of your choice 1 ½ cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese Optional toppings Chopped green onions Unsweetened Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream Directions to Make Ahead -
