Mixture Mania!

In these times where food costs are needed to be controlled at home, here are a few mixtures I have made up to use up lots of veggies that are not really fit for raw eating anymore.

Pasta with veggies

Olive oil
Fresh tomatoes chopped (chunky)
Mushrooms chopped (chunky)
red bell pepper chopped
yellow bell pepper chopped
onion chopped
Vegetable no salt mixture (like Mrs. Dash)
Salt and Pepper
Saute all until it's soft and flavorful

Then sprinkle some parmesan cheese on and stir.

Cook some whole grain or your favorite penne pasta.
Drain pasta
Then pour drained pasta into cooking mixture and stir until coated.

Serve in pasta bowls with parmesan cheese.


========================

Zucchini mixture

Olive oil
Chop a medium-large sized zucchini
1 fresh tomato chopped
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
salt and pepper
salt free seasoning like Mrs. Dash

Saute all in pan with olive oil until soft. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve with pasta or on it's own. We had it with some jalapeno and cheddar brats.
