Hi Emily!

I am going to post a couple of easy recipes for you for Thanksgiving.

For this first one, you can use any fresh vegetable of your choice.
#1
Roasted Vegetables

Butternut Squash or any vegetable such as asparagus, green beans, potatoes
Cut into fairly small pieces.
Put on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle on olive oil.
Sprinkle on herbs, such as Thyme, Rosemary, or anything you choose, and salt and pepper.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, until vegetable are tender.
You can check on it, so it won't burn.

O.K. #2

Chives
Salt
Pepper

Peel and cut potatoes. Cook until tender.
Drain. Cut chives into small pieces.
