Hi Everyone!
I feel especially optimistic today. I just love September! I think it is my favorite month. The weather is cooling a bit (but not too much, yet), the kids are back in school, things just seem really great. What about you? What is your favorite month?

Today, I want to share with you this delicious way to cook vegetables. I learned it when I went to Reynolds cooking school/test kitchen. You make a packet with parchment paper (en papillote…it’s French :), bake in the oven until the veggies are tender and then open the packet on a plate and eat straight out of it.
Step 1:
Cut a heart shaped piece of parchment paper and place
your veggies in the middle with a little oil and seasonings.
Step 2:
Fold over the edges of the parchment paper and use paper clips to seal the packet.
Bake the veggies in a 425 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 3:
Carefully remove the paper clips and open the packet. Eat right out the parchment paper!

And since we’re talking French/France today here is a picture of my Mom doing some sightseeing at Chenonceau Chateau and gardens. My Mom and Dad are serving an LDS mission in France for 18 months. What an adventure!

P.S. Make sure to join in the fun on Instagram! It’s my new fun time sucker 🙂






Karen, hey! I know you did this page a long time ago BUT….I would like the recipe for the Lemon Herb Veggies in the parchment paper IF you still have it. The URL link for the recipe doesn’t have it anymore. Boo hoo. I was using your SEARCH feature to find stuff you’ve steamed in the IP & found this. Our garden is roaring right now & this recipe looks G.R.E.A.T.!! Help if you can, but don’t waste too much of your valuable time if you can’t find it. Thanks.
Nevermind. I googled it & found this & it looks almost the same, will give it a try:

oh good! I don’t know why that link no longer works! That is annoying 🙁
If I had to guess I’d say some brilliant person at Reynolds took that off the server to free up space for something they thought was better. Annoying YES!! That’s ok, this other recipe may be even better. Nanny nanny boo boo to them.
I absolutely enjoying every little bit of information given here. It is a great blog and nice share Cosmetic Dentist
