My D.I.Y. Apartment: Veggie Packets

This post would have gone well with garden week, because it is all garden veggies [[except some of them I did buy from the store, but they were on sale, and don't tell my dad]].
On Sunday nights at my parents we have dinner. In the summer that means that dad grills something [[charcoal grill, in case you were wondering, he is just really proud of his charcoal grill]] and I usually make the side dish, usually garden veggies because we have a ton of them. Seriously, an abundance of vegetables, this is my dad's garden. When he first started gardening it was just a small garden, but continues to grow each year.

[[See what I mean]]

This recipe makes a great side dish, and it is really easy too:
1. cut the veggies
2. put them in packets
that is as complex as it gets here, people.

Veggie Packets

Ingredients:

[[This recipe makes 8 packets, but it can easily be cut in half, or vegetables exchanged for any veggies you have at home/or that are on sale]]

12 small yellow potatoes
2 small onions
2 small summer squash
1 1/2 cartons of mushrooms. [[Store bought]]

1/2 bag of baby carrots
2 cloves of garlic
3/4 cup olive oil
salt
pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Cut the veggies up so they are small, and approximately all the same size [[I cut my veggies a little smaller so that they would cook faster//all the way through]]

3. Mix all the veggies together

4. Mince the cloves of garlic
5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and minced garlic. Add salt and pepper, whisk.
6. Add dressing and mix veggies
7. Cut 8 squares out of aluminium foil
8. Place approximately 2 scoops of the veggie mixture on to the middle of the foil, and fold in to a pocket
