easy breezy and colorful too...


saturday...i discovered some new pre-packaged microwavable veggies at trader joes.  there was brussel sprouts...and a mixture of broccoli and cauliflower.  i bought one of each.  

today...i marinated (olive oil, preserved lemons, garlic, grains of paradise, kosher salt, rosemary) and roasted some drumsticks...made a pot of jasmine rice...and cooked both packages of veggies.  they were easy and delicious!  

how easy?  microwave 2-1/2 to 3 minutes...let stand 1 minute.  shake the container slightly...and serve.  that's it.  no venting.  no pouring into another container.  just remove it from the refrigerator...and put it in the microwave.  open...season (if desired) and serve.  it doesn't get much easier than that!  

now...i gotta go make some tortilla chips for our cinco de mayo potluck tomorrow.  adios!
