So the young people have this saying nowadays which goes a little something like this: “I can’t even”.
I. Can’t. EVEN ___.
That’s it. You DO NOT, under any circumstances, finish that sentence. Finish that sentence and you go from 31 year old single socialite blogger to 80 year old grandma who always has a lint-crusted piece of hard candy in her pocket book. Probably anise if had to guess.
SO this is a thing now.
What’s worse? I. Can’t. EVEN stop saying it.
Shoot. I finished it. Now I’m a grandmother.
Let’s not, dinner.
So lately I can’t even. This includes but is not limited to; laundry, dusting, removing the Quest Bar empties from the hidden nook of my driver’s side door, and dinner. All I really want in life is food that is hot and yummy without making me feel like a chub and can be ready within five minutes of me walking in the door. Maybe ten if I put on yoga pants first.
My super fave find at TJ Maxx (nickname TJ’s) is Avocado oil and when you pair that with vegetables of the green variety and get your oven roasting hot, it’s all you need for dinner.

This one time, I ate a piece of steamed broccoli. It was gross. I don’t even think there was oil or cheese on it. (insert frownie face here)
Garlicky Roasted Broccoli
& Green Beans
1 12oz bag Pre-cut Broccoli, raw (because this is when you can’t even…cut up broccoli)
1 12 oz bag Green Beans, raw
3-4 tbsp Avocado Oil
1 tbsp Garlic Powder (or three cloves garlic, mashed)
Shredded Parmesan Cheese for Sprinkles
Preheat oven to 450º and line baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, green beans, and oil. Toss to coat. (If you are using fresh garlic, add it to the oil before tossing)
Transfer this health food monstrosity to baking sheet in an even layer. Dust with Garlic Powder and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot or cold because both are amazingballs.
AND that’s how you have a health food quickie without all of the guilt or wasted time food prepping. Fifteen minutes, tops. I’d say as far as quickies go, it’s the best I’ve ever had.
I’ll be back to my normal Monday posts next week! Check for updates on Facebook and Instagram!
Yammmii!

Oooh a new vegetarian! Welcome to the club friend 🙂 All of my recipes are vegetarian but the bad news is that most of them are desserts 😉 Thanks for stopping by!!
Yummy! I’d totes put on some yoga pant and devour a pile of this green goodness. Well done my friend.
Also, I purchased some coconut oil from the tjs today….very economicall.:)
You even make healthy food look mouth watering!
Awe thanks Joy!!! Healthy Eating + Good Eating is my goal in life 😂
That looks awesome. I. Can’t. Even…imagine not eating it. Okay I’m old, but who cares. I’d rather be bitter and old than young and optimistic.
I’m with ya. Let’s start a revolution where people actually make phone calls and finish their sentences!
I can’t get on board with people making phone calls as I hate calling people on the phone (bitter introvert right here!), but I’m totally on board with finishing sentences. People won’t know what hit them.
Ok ok, I’ll allow you that because I too cringe when my phone rings most of the time. Full sentences will suffice in the revolution of America’s elderly (us) lol
I laugh at your claim! You are not old! You’re the original IG and IG’s never get old!
YES! I’m putting that on a business card!
You’ll be an internet sensation! Oh, wait, you already are. The Original IG.
HAHA you are so hilarious, I hate the new slang that constantly comes about but then I find myself using it because of social media and it cringes me out hahaha! The roasted garlic veg sounds YUMMY, plus i need to shed a stone I put on haha woops xxx
It’s like a disease! I just can’t stop saying it!!! LOL And you look great. Don’t lose a single inch!!!
I like it! But I can’t even…..lol 🙂
Oh Linda, I can’t even either! Side Note: I woke up with a sore throat and while rushing to find medicine, locked myself out of my apartment. I clearly SHOULDN’T even lol 🙂
Oh No!!! Hope you got yourself back in! And I hope your throat feels better soon…I once took my dog out to pee and locked myself out – I ended up having to wait at a new neighbor’s house until my hubby came home (just happened to be a cleaning day for me and I looked like s*&t – and it was the first time I’d met this neighbor!) Oh well, you live and learn! 🙂
