New Recipe

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of making the same thing for supper all the time. So, I've decided to try a new recipe every week...I found this one on a blog, but made a few changes...Orzo with Roasted Veggies and Feta!

Ingredients:
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 orange pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 cloves minced garlic (I used my press)
1/2 lb. orzo pasta
olive oil
salt & pepper to season.

Dressing:
2/3 c. olive oil
2/3 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. salt

Topping:
Basil
Feta Cheese

Preheat oven to 425.
Chop peppers, onion, and tomatoes. Place in large bowl and add garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss in olive oil.

Transfer to cookie sheet lined with foil and roast for 40 minutes.

Entertain your child by sitting him on the counter and giving him pita bread:

While your veggies are cooking, you can boil the orzo (mine took about 10 minutes) and drain it. I also made my dressing in a jar....just put in the lemon juice and olive oil, plus a little salt and pepper, and shook it up! And I chopped my basil and got the feta out!

This is what they veggies look like when they're done:

Then you add them to the orzo:

I waited to add the dressing and feta when I served my plate so that my leftovers don't get soggy.  The brats went perfectly with the pasta, and I had some pita bread with it too. I'm so excited about eating it for lunch this week!
