@parus I haven't tried this one, but I have roasted big pans of veggies in the winter and used them to make my lunches for the work week! Love them!
@parus and @jodeejparus
Yes, I love roasted veggies as well. I just do my favorites (no broccoli): asparagus, pearl onions, mushrooms, grape tomatoes (add a great taste), bits of squash or sweet potatoes, sprinkled with olive oil and garlic. Yummy.
@parus I've never heard of chia pudding, I'll have to google a recipe. Does it taste like tapioca, custard or vanilla pudding?

@hopeful33250 Agree-Narian on the broccoli!! Similar to tapioca. Unattractive in color and kind of a different texture which may not appeal to some. I like that it does not need to be cooked. Also high in protein w/o the fat. Just finished a platter of roasted vidalia onions/sweet potatoes/asparagus/baby bellas.
Oh dear it is almost 10 p.m.!!!! waaay past my bedtime. Glorious day playing in the dirt/watching the hummers and awaiting the hatching of the Cardinal babies.
@parus Sounds like a good day for food, bird watching and playing the dirt!
@parus what are you referring to as being high in protein? Broccoli? I like broccoli OK, and we do eat it at least once a week generally but I hate it raw. I recently read an article about hypothyroidism that cruciferous vegetables can interfere with thyroid medication, and broccoli is one of them, along with Brussel sprouts. Overall what I eat most in the vegetable family is salads.
I love all of the other vegetables you mentioned.

@jodeej Have you tried the roasted veggie meal yet? I do a cookie sheet full of them-usually what is in season. This is a taste treat. For dessert I have chia pudding with fresh fruit. I also love to roast baby bella mushrooms with them.
