On a trip to the farmers' market (I really love going to these!) I got some fresh carrots, baby potatoes, and green beans in an attempt to make myself eat more healthily. I used these in a veggie medley with herbs that I have been growing on my patio "garden" and served them along with pan-seared steaks and garlic bread.

The herbs really gave the veggies a big kick of flavor, and all ingredients used in the medley were locally grown! As I said, the vegetables were bought from the farmers' market and came from various local growers, and the herbs were grown on my patio! It was also a very healthy side dish - I cooked the veggies in water only (no butter). After they were done, I seared the steak in the same pan the veggies were cooked in so they had a hint of flavor from the herbs as well. Lastly, I popped the steaks in the oven to finish cooking through. This meal is one of my favorite recipes I have made in a long time!
**NOTE**
Some of you are used to me posting my recipes and culinary adventures on my other blog, Cody's Cooking. I will no longer be using that blog for two reasons.
- The name/theme of the blog is too single-minded. I have many other things I want to blog about besides cooking.
- More than one blog is just too much for me to work on right now. After all my course work (and being less than a year away from graduation) I barely have enough time to cook, let alone keep up a blog JUST about cooking. By combining, I can post fairly regularly again without having to cook an awesome meal every single day.
I hope that everyone will start following me here. I'll be posting all sorts of random things.
