The first is from the Barefoot Contessa's "Back to Basics" cookbook. It's called roasted parsnips and carrots. It was a super easy recipe to follow and was quite basic - just some veggies, some spices and some olive oil. My husband loved them, Mr. Picky even ate them and Miss Almost-Vegetarian loved them too. That means a winner in our minds!!
The second recipe was "Asian Spinach Salad" from the "Carlson Family Cookbook - Volume 2". Since I have the author's permission, I will post the recipe here:
8 cups packed baby spinach leaves
1 red pepper, cut into thin strips
1 cup thin matchlike carrot sticks
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup dry roasted peanuts
1/2 cup chow mein noodles
1/3 cup Kraft Asian Sesame dressing.
Combine first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add noodles and dressing just before serving; toss to coat.
I used chives instead of green onions and I didn't have peanuts on hand so I used almonds. Mr.Picky didn't like the salad and Miss Almost-Vegetarian wasn't a fan either. I *REALLY* liked it but my husband just thought it was so-so (he liked the salad ingredients but didn't really like the dressing).
We had the salad and roasted veggies with M&M Meatshops Chicken Pasta Primavera. All in all, a very tasty mid-week supper and far better than Kraft Dinner. :)

I really wanted the roasted veggies recipe. I googled the name of it (along with the author) and found it online at the food network. If the recipes are available on the internet I wonder if you can post them here?? Anyhow, I found it and will try it :)
