Maple syrup vegies

Judging by the weather forecast I think its pretty safe to say that is no longer salad for dinner weather so its time to get back into some cooked vegies.  I thought I would share a quick easy alternative to roast/baked veg.

Simply par boil (or fully boil if you forget you have a pot on the stove!!) whatever veg you would normally bake.  I usually do potato, sweet potato, carrot, parsnip etc.  Mix together a crushed clove of garlic, a tablespoon or 2 of whole grain mustard and about 3 tablespoons of maple syrup in a big bowl.  Add in the cooked veg and mix around.  Pop into a baking dish and bake in the oven on about 180 for about half an hour.  Easy!!

Don't be put off by the weird ingredients, when it is cooked it is really yummy!!  I think this may be a Weight Watchers recipe but I got it off a family member so I am no too sure!!

On Saturday I did a little post about having to go for the 2 hour fasting glucose test for gestational diabetes this coming Saturday and I am asking everyone who pops in this week to send me some positive vibes for a negative outcome this time around!!

Have a great week Open Slatherers!! 

Linking up with One Mother Hen for some Monday fun!!

Things I know- 4/5/2013

Things I know in a dodgy point form as I have limited computer time this morning as the kids will be up soon and I only just discovered this little linky!!

• This time next week I will be cranky and dying for a coffee but unable to have one thanks to having to go for a 2 hour glucose test.
• I will have to remember not to eat the kids leftover breakfast.
• I am overly excited at the prospect of 2 child free hours with a book.
• I just hope the nice lady is collecting the blood and not the dragon who has been there for all of my blood tests so far this pregnancy.
• I know that having gestational diabetes last time really sucked and took the shine off the last 12 weeks.
• I know that there is different information on the topic varying from different hospitals to different states and it is bloody confusing.
• I absolutely do not want to go through it again, it was time consuming, stressful and annoying.  None of which I have time for this time around.
• Lastly on the topic of gestational diabetes- I desperately need your positive vibes this week guys so I can get negative test results.  Please please pretty please!!
• I also know that SATURDAY 14TH DECEMBER is BON JOVI DAY!! 
• Lastly I know the kids are up and being Saturday Buzz Lightyear has been put on to buy me an hour and a half more peace!!
