Beets with goat cheese and fresh chopped mint

Wash beets thoroughly and cut them into half-inch disks.

Place beets in a baking dish and drizzle with small amount of olive oil.

Roast beets, covered, for about 30 minutes, until fork-tender.

Put beets on a plate, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and spread goat cheese on each (I like using a strong-flavored goat cheese for this recipe)

Samantha's Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches

* zucchini, sliced longways about 1/4" thick
* yellow squash, sliced the same way
* hummus
* olive oil
* your favorite seasonings
* a loaf of french bread or some rolls
* mozzarella cheese

Lay your zucchini and squash out on a cookie sheet, brush with olive oil and coat with seasonings. I like rosemary, salt, and pepper especially well, but basil and oregano and parsley are fantastic too. Lately I've been cheating with the spices and using the McCormick Italian Herb Seasonings grinder.

Stick it in the oven until the veggies are nice and soft, about 20 minutes or so at 375.

Cut that loaf of bread into sandwich sized chunks and spread each side with hummus then lay the zucchini and squash on there. Top with big fatty slices of mozzarella cheese.

Throw it back in the oven until the cheese is all melty and toasty.

Sam's boyfriend puts lettuce and tomato on his. I think I may try roasted peppers and sprouts when I make these. Whatever you want, throw it on there.

Hobo Pie

*some meat if you like meat
*some cut up carrots
*some butter
*some apples
*some corn
*some cut up potatoes
*other root veggies, it all works
*heavy duty aluminum foil
*lemons or lemon pepper
*seasonings to taste

wrap all the food up in a foil packet, put in a few pats of butter and throw it in a fire, oven, or on the Q for awhile. You can poke at it with a stick every once in awhile or put a marshmallow fork through the foil to see if it slides out of a potato cleanly. It is done when you are tired of waiting.
