Easy Peasy Vegetables

While I was born in California, moved around quite a bit as a kid and graduated from high school in California, I am an adopted Midwesterner. Many meals end up being a meat based main dish, a vegetable side and a starch side dish.

Many of the vegetables are easy peasy steamed ones. When I have a little more time, and the oven is not already occupied, I’ve been known to roast some veggies. I am always on the lookout for other options.

This is a very simple dish that added some additional flavor and texture.

I didn’t have garlic pepper so I used 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp white pepper.

Frying up the almonds.

Adding the veggies.

Delicious!
