Quick hello from Nawinz:
Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your sweet comments about my leg injury. It was pretty bad for the past two days but much better today! My mom already made me an appt to see the doc when I’m back.
I’m having a blast here in New Orleans! I’ve primed and painted a door in a house we were helping rebuild, saw three different music shows in one night, drank my share of local brews and today, rode a bike 20 miles throughout the city. It’s as beautiful as I remember and I’ll be sure to share the extent of the adventures with you when I’m back.
See ya!

I blogged about my family’s eating habits and noted how many of the dishes tend to repeat during social gatherings. For my dad’s BBQ birthday celebration, I decided to roast some vegetables and my family loved them!
I started off with some bell peppers, an eggplant and green squash, but you can use anything.
I tossed them in an improvised mixture of:
- 1/4 cup EVOO
- 2 TBS balsamic vinegar
- a bunch of chopped fresh dill
- salt & pepper
- dash of honey
- 1/2 TBS dry basil
I put these in the oven for 30-40 min at 400 F, tossing them once after 15-20 minutes. They came out really flavorful!
It was a nice change from the typical and so easy to make!
What’s your favorite way to eat veggies?
Glad you’re having fun! Lately, i’ve been loving sauteed veggies with a little drop of EVOO!! Andd…thrown into a wrap with hummus.
holy baloney roasted veggies are definitely up there, but i looove them grilled on a BBQ grill or simply steamed and topped with oyster sauce. OMG yummmm.
Hope your leg injury gets better ssoooon!!!
I love roasted veggies! Espesh roasted squash because I love how it carmalizes and gets so mushy in the middle! Shiiiiiiit you know how I do!
Just. like. that.
Hope you’re having a fab time!
Any which way. I eat them raw, boiled, steamed, and broiled. I would have to say baked/broiled is probably my favorite.
Have fun down there!
Happiness Awaits

I’ve only recently started roasting vegetables. I can’t believe I missed out on them for over 20 years.
I think stir-fried veggies are my favorite. I really like the “crisp-tender” texture.
