Boil ‘Em, Mash ‘Em, Stick ‘Em in a Stew

Okay, so I didn’t really end up boiling, mashing, or sticking anything in a stew, but there were potatoes involved. Naturally, Samwise Gamgee and his love of potatoes and cooking came to mind. The name of the game today was roasting.

Beets, golden potatoes, butternut squash, and mushroom were the gorgeous components in this feast. That along with some brown rice and cheesy basil sauce.

Here are some (a lot) of photographs that I took of the food:

Cheesy Basil Sauce

1/2 cup nutritional yeast

2 tbsp whole wheat pastry flour

2 tbsp dried basil

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

Pinch salt

Few dashes pepper

Mix together all of the dry ingredients. Heat the broth in a pot over medium high heat, then add the dry ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring constantly. Add the vinegar and stir until the sauce thickens.
