Foil Pack Meal

When I was a Brownie (didn't last long,) we spent one afternoon making foil packs with potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower--the first time I'd ever eaten cauliflower, and I actually liked it! It was so fun and easy to just throw everything into some tin foil, bake it low and slow, and eat it right out of the pack. So I attempted to recreate this today! I went to the grocery and stocked up on TONS of fresh produce.

Onion, potatoes, carrots, broccoli. I also added red, yellow, and green peppers alone with oil, herbs & garlic.

     I cleaned and prepped all my veggies--chopped half a vidalia , washed the taters, peeled and sliced one carrot, and washed and cut up about half a small head of broccoli and half of each type of pepper. It's really helpful if you get a large enough bowl for all of your ingredients, line it with foil, and use that to load up all your food instead of trying to maneuver it flat on your counter. I put the potatoes in maybe 10 minutes alone first, but I wish I'd done them longer. It ended up they were almost done while everything else was almost perfect. If I could do it over, I'd do the potatoes maybe 20 minutes by themselves, add the broccoli and carrots for the next 15 minutes, and then add everything else for however long it takes to finish it all up.

     All in all, this was good, and I'm sure it'd be even better if it all turned out cooked perfectly!
