Farmers' market organic produce. I am exploring new recipes since I will soon be cooking for just myself. I enjoy roasted vegetables. I cut up zucchini, yellow crook-neck squash, red onion, and purple, red, and white fingerling potatoes. It was so colorful that I had to take a picture. Then I sprinkled it with minced garlic, drizzled it with olive oil, and seasoned it generously with basil. I don't usually cook with salt, but I used a little to help bring out the flavors. I roasted it in the oven occasionally tossing the veggies until they were cooked but not mushy. The seasoning was not enough. I tried thyme the last time I roasted veggies, but it wasn't enough either. I am still learning. Any suggestions?
My son said I was starving him and that it needs meat and gravy. *sigh*

I love those little purple potatoes. You're just going to have to experiment with seasonings until you find what *you* like. You'll use more fresh herbs than you would dried ones, but the flavor is better. And potatoes are notorious for how much salt they require.
yum! Like you son, I'd like it served with a nice steak though :)
More garlic. Fresh rosemary would also be good. I like to roast potatoes tossed in garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. Just toss it all together, dump into a roasting pan, and put it in the oven. I usually let people salt their own, since you can always add salt, but never remove it!
Cooking for two is really hard for me and cooking for one would be like filling the fridge with left overs.
