Roasted Veggie and Potato Recipe

"Eat your vegetables!"  Have you said this before or remember suffering through bite after bite of unwanted veggies?  We all know veggies are healthy as they provide vitamins and minerals (and are low in calories).   But let's make them taste great so they do not end up in the garbage or fed to the dog!

Here is a easy recipe that will get you and your family eating more veggies and hopefully coming back for seconds!  Adults on average should aim to get 3 servings of vegetables per day; 1 serving = 1 cup cooked/raw or 2 cups green leafy veggies.
