Veggie dinner night!!

So my roommate is out of town & I decided to do a veggie dinner!! Yay
So I thought they were leaving this afternoon (they still haven't left yet) I found some great deals at Lowes food this morning. Got 2 packs of butternut squash a pack of stew veggies ( red potatoes, celery, baby carrots & onions) & green beans!! Yummy!!
I roasted the stew mix with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder & pepper.
