Roaster Winter Veg.

I'm sure by now you all know how much I love winter, and especially Christmas. I love the colours of winter, I love wrapping up in winter clothes, Christmas films are definitely the best films and everyone just seems so happy around Christmas!

Another great thing about the winter is the food! I love making hearty and healthy winter perfect filling meals, I love to cook through the winter. Warm meals are definitely my preferred choice- don't get me wrong I love a salad and a fruit juice, but if I had to choose- it would be warm food all the way!

This winter I will be trying new recipes every week for the blog, and expanding my cooking knowledge (hopefully by a lot) and sharing it with you all. I have been reading up on a few blogs and some recipe books and adapting them to be healthy and as I like them, so hopefully you will too. I have a massive list of meals to attempt and I'm looking forward to getting through it.

So, last night I had a friend to my house and we completed a quick high intensity mini bootcamp that I designed earlier in the day. Then we feasted on a warm paleo style meal of garlic meatballs and roasted winter veg. 

I always always keep my meals simple, so I like to think (I hope) that nobody feels that they can't attempt to make them at home by following my recipe.

Last night I roasted two new vegetables, I can't believe I have got to 25 and not tried them roasted to be honest! I had beetroot and butternut squash.... and I absolutely LOVED them. In fact I would go as far as saying that they were my favourite part of the meal. It got the thumbs up from my dinner guest too, who loved the taste that the seasoning have to the veg.
