Eat Your Veggies

So, I don't usually buy food that comes in a box or a can. It's good on the budget and good on the waistline... but hard when you just want a quick snack. Like this morning. But, luckily Lola was napping when hunger struck, so I thought I'd get a jump start on lunch. I've been meaning to steam Lola some veggies to replace the 20 pounds of Cheerios she eats each day. (Cheerios I definitely buy in a box!) In the process I invented a dish for myself, and I liked it so much I thought I'd share.

Ingredients:

3 carrots
2 parsnips
1/2 a bag of coleslaw cabbage mix
1/2 a medium onion
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 stick of butter
1 teaspoon of horseradish
salt and pepper to taste

I Chopped and steamed the carrots and parsnips for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, I melted the butter and sautéed the slaw, onion, and garlic. When the slaw mix was soft I added the steamed veggies and seasoned with horseradish, salt and pepper. Potatoes could have easily been used instead of parsnips

This might be my new favorite food. All it needed was some crumbled bacon on top. It was filling and savory with a touch of sweet.
