Weeknight Roasted Veggies with Poached Egg – an easy, go-to weeknight meal!

You guys, this is seriously as easy as it gets.  For real.

This is my super-fancy-but-really-I-just-didn’t-know-what-to-make meal.  Or something like that.  I don’t know, something about throwing a poached egg on anything makes it feel more fancy…..

But really, if you are just at your wits end and you need something quick and healthy, inexpensive and delicious – this is for you.  Yes, I put in the recipe the veggies that I typically use, but this could easily turn into a clean-out-your-fridge recipe.  Just take what veggies you have and whatever kind of potatoes you have and roast them with some olive oil and salt, throw a runny egg on top and call it a day.  I know it is so, so simple, but I love it, my husband loves it and our kids love it.  And I love having this in my back pocket for when I don’t know what else to make.  I always have eggs and I always seem to have some veggies.  Boom – dinner is ready.

So, I hope you guys keep this one tucked away as well for when dinner time gets desperate!!  I know you will love it!
