Gals - below is the recipe of the veggie stack I brought to Christmas Eve last night. It's super easy - you just need patience for all of the washing and slicing :)
Ingredients
3 green zucchini, very thinly sliced
3 yellow squash, very thinly sliced
1 large white onions, very thinly sliced
2 sweet potatoes, peeledes, very thinly sliced
5 Roma tomatoes, very thinly sliced
8 asparagus spears, cut into 1/2" pieces
4-5 garlic cloves, thoroughly smashed
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt
Pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly coat large baking dish with olive oil. Layer each vegetable, except the asparagus, in the order listed above. Once you've added one later of each, place the smashed garlic across everything - don't be shy about it. Use more than 4-5 cloves if needed. Then repeat with another layer of veggies. Top with asparagus.
Whisk together a dressing with olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Pour a healthy amount on the stack. Let it sit for 5 mins to soak in.
Bake, covered, for 25 mins. Remove cover and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Tomatoes should be wrinkled and the whole thing should be smooth and easy to cut.
I imagine a dusting of Parmesan would be amazing on this.
Serving suggestions: roasted chicken (tofu or fake chicken), couscous, quinoa, lemon/dull orzo

Whole Foods Salads
We went to Whole Foods for dinner tonight. It is one of our favorite places for several reasons:
1. We all get to pick exactly what we want.
2. The food is good.
3. It is already noisy in there, so no one seems to notice our noisy kids.
For my dinner tonight, I chose a bunch of different salads. They were all so good and seemed pretty simple. I snapped a few pictures of the ingredients as a reminder - I'm always looking for good simple salad recipes, and these seem easy enough. Thought I would post them here so we can all refer back to them when the mood strikes!
